Spill fuels water quality concerns
From Hill Country News, June 21, 2008...
When a boat capsizes on Lake Travis - one of Central Texas' main sources of drinking water - it can impact more than just the people on board. On May 28, a stolen boat sank in front of the VIP Marina in Volente, leaking gasoline into the water for several hours before it could be removed.

He said TCEQ representatives told him dealing with the gasoline leak was LCRA's responsibility.
