Buchanan Dam (forms Lake Buchanan and is upstream of Lake Inks and Lake LBJ)
Note: Inks Dam (forms Lake Inks and is upstream of Lake LBJ) does not have floodgates.

I hereby apply to participate in the Floodgate Operations Notification Service (FONS) of the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA).

I acknowledge that the purpose of the FONS is to alert me by e-mail and/or phone when the opening of floodgates is imminent or has begun, but that some circumstances may require LCRA to begin floodgate operations prior to activation of the FONS. I acknowledge my understanding that FONS is not a flood warning system and that it is my responsibility to act in response to any conditions that could result from floodgate operations, including taking steps to protect persons and property. I understand I will not receive a notice for nominal, regular gate operations such as hydroelectric generation or for gate testing and maintenance. I agree it is my responsibility to monitor local news media, National Weather Service broadcasts and/or other information sources to keep myself and my family aware of potentially hazardous conditions. I understand LCRA will attempt to notify me once when floodgate operations begin and that no additional notifications will be made, even if the level of floodgate operations is increased. I agree to hold LCRA, its employees, agents and successors harmless for any injury, death and/or property damage that I, or any person on the premises of my residence or business establishment, may suffer due to a failure of the FONS system to provide notification to the above telephone number(s) and/or e-mail addresses.

I agree to notify LCRA in writing or via e-mail to publicsafety@lcra.org of any changes in address or telephone number(s). I understand it will take up to thirty days for LCRA to enter my initial or updated information into the FONS system.

The term of this agreement will begin 30 days after you submit the application and continue through May 31, 2010. LCRA will attempt to notify you via the e-mail you provide when your data has been entered into the system. LCRA may terminate this service at any time by providing thirty (30) days written notice to the address contained on this application.

By clicking on the box marked, "I agree" I indicate my acceptance of the terms and conditions of this agreement.

* I Agree
