The meeting will run from 6-7:30 p.m. at the City of Round Rock Department of Public Works, 3400 Sunrise Road.

Improving local water quality

The meeting will provide an overview of current water quality data related to identified impairments in Brushy Creek. Participants will learn more about what the data indicates about the creek’s condition and participate in a discussion on the next steps in the development of a voluntary watershed protection plan.

Watershed protection planning is a collaborative, community-driven process that relies on input from residents, landowners, organizations and other interested stakeholders. Feedback gathered during this meeting will help guide future strategies to improve and protect water quality in the Brushy Creek watershed.

This project is funded in part by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement 582-26-00096 to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
