LCRA Employees Lend a Helping Hand in Flatonia & Schulenburg

Hundreds of Lower Colorado River Authority employees picked up paint brushes, shovels and more on Friday, April 12, to volunteer on dozens of community projects throughout Texas during LCRA’s annual day of service, Steps Forward Day.

In Fayette County, LCRA employees painted a gazebo, archway and old-time horse tether near Flatonia City Hall and painted handrails and sidewalk safety stripes in downtown Schulenburg.

Other Steps Forward Day projects ranged from installing new landscaping and building a shade structure at San Saba River Nature Park to adding sand and mulch to the play areas at Play for All Abilities Park in Round Rock to painting and sealing the exterior of the city animal shelter in Shiner.

“Steps Forward Day is a day to work hard, have fun and give back to our customer communities,” LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson said. “This year, about 700 employees volunteered to pitch in on these projects to help support Texans and Texas communities.” Wilson said LCRA has a strong legacy of service.

“Our volunteers tackle projects that communities might not have the time and resources to complete on their own, and we’re excited to see these projects to the finish line,” Wilson said. “It’s a way of saying ‘thank you’ to our customers and helping to make a real difference in the communities in which we work.”
