Bastrop County, with participation from Travis County and the City of Pflugerville, has been awarded a Texas Water Development Board Flood Protection Planning Grant to conduct a floodplain study of the Wilbarger Creek Watershed.

The study has identified floodplains, as well as areas at high risk of flooding during storm events. Public feedback is requested on the proposed flood mitigation projects, with the goal to reduce flood risk and improve the safety for residents during storm events. Opportunities to implement a flood monitoring system to assist the public during storm events will also be discussed.

Questions about the study can be directed to Carolyn Dill, P.E., Bastrop County Engineer, at (512) 581-7180 or by email at [email protected]
