BCRUA seeks land for intake

From Hill Country News, June 2, 2008...

The Jackson Street neighborhood of Volente is now the preferred site for a deep-water intake facility, part of a $350 million project that would let Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock draw more water from Lake Travis. A year ago, the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) considered the Booth Circle neighborhood of Volente to be the best site.
