The Lower Colorado River Authority is accepting applications through August for membership on its four regional councils, including one in Washington County.

Members of the councils include volunteers who provide a link between the LCRA and the communities.

Regional council members meet several times a year to discuss regional topics involving LCRA services in their communities.

Members then pass along information from council meetings to their local communities.

Members serve two- or four-year terms and must agree to attend at least six meetings a year. Each council includes up to 30 members.

The LCRA is looking for members who represent diverse interests, including property ownership, community leadership, recreation, the environment and agriculture.

The LCRA board of directors will appoint members to the regional councils in late fall.

Applications are available at LCRA.org/regionalcouncils . The deadline for submitting an application is Aug. 31.
