County installs ood monitoring stations
“Not today, but there will be a day that we’re able to look at this data and we will know that it saved a life.” BILL GRAVELL, WILLIAMSON COUNTY JUDGE
Williamson County is working to improve its ood monitoring ability as sta recently installed three remote, automated weather stations throughout the region, with plans for another station underway. The overview Candi Semple, Williamson County Emergency Services project manager, said during an April 16 Williamson County Commissioners Court meet- ing the county is implementing a comprehensive program to improve its ood monitoring ability. So far, sta have installed three weather stations throughout the county, including at the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, River Ranch County Park and Hidden Springs Ranch. Semple said the county also plans to install a station at Granger Lake but rst needs approval
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. She said these stations measure wind, rain, temperature and humidity to determine where possible ooding may take place downstream. The stations can also measure the amount of moisture in the surrounding wood and other material, which allows sta to better predict the potential for wild re. The project was funded by 2019 voter-approved road bonds.
