After the 2010 Tropical Storm Hermine flooded many homes in the north Austin area, the Upper Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District was charged to study the Upper Brushy Creek Watershed and update floodplain zones and maps. The MUD is located within the Upper Brushy Creek Watershed and will be impacted by the updated floodplain zones and maps. The findings of this study are scheduled to be released on Dec. 20, 2019, and the floodplain is expected to expand in several areas.
