Campaign themes
2017
In response to a question from the League of Women Voters Education Fund about her priorities for the water district, Beatty said:
| “ |
The top two priorities are Water Availability and Flood Risk management. TRWD plans include building three new water wells in Navarro County and considering other methods of water storage to minimize evaporation rates. Flood risk management changes with upstream urbanization. It is critical for us to plan for the future with the updated Corp of Engineer flood models.[5] |
