The Lower Colorado River Authority board adopted a resolution on March 26 honoring Carol Cowan, a navigation and waterway management supervisor who retired in March 2025 after 25 years with LCRA.
The resolution recounted Cowan’s career at the authority, beginning in July 1999 as a lake‑patrol helper in environmental field services and including work in water‑service field operations and leadership roles in water‑service management. The text credited Cowan with developing hazard and navigation‑marking programs across the Highland Lakes, overseeing the installation of mile and channel markers and barrier float lines at dams and power‑plant cooling lakes, and increasing the number of navigation aids across the lakes.
