The stars at night are big and bright, but Texans in 58 counties still need electricity from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA). The utility provides electricity to 44 wholesale customers, comprising 10 electric cooperatives and 33 towns, through the use of hydroelectric, gas, coal-fired, and wind-powered generators with a capacity of about 2,390 MW. Its 13 water and wastewater facilities provide services for 86,000 customers in seven counties. LCRA operates six dams and monitors the water quality of the resulting Highland Lakes. LCRA's revenues, about 90% of which are from electricity sales, provide funding for its parks program (40 recreation areas, an archaeological center, and a science laboratory).
