LCRA plans
for growth
in demand
for power
Demand for electricity in the
53 counties served by the Lower
Colorado River Authority and
its 44 wholesale electric cus-
tomers will grow by three to
four percent in the next 10
years, according to a plan
adopted by the LCRA Board in
April.
That rate of growth will re-
quire the LCRA and its cus-
tomers in the next 10 years to
spend an estimated $98 milUoi)
upgrading substations and elec-
tric transmission and distribu-
tion lines. In 1999 and 2000,
they will spend $23 million
and $22 million respectively.
The LCRA and its customers
are paying particular attention
to growth in communities near
Austin and San Antonio, but
predict recent high rates of
growth throughout its system
should begin to taper off.
"Growth is the biggest issue
we have dealt with in the past
few years in the Central area,"
said LCRA’s Stuart Nelson.
"We will continue to evaluate
our plans on that basis."
The 10 year plan approved by
the LCRA is the product of a six
year old joint planning process.
The LCRA and its customers
work together to find the best
ways to meet future demand for
power.
"This .is a process that we
think will continue to improve
the relationship between the
LCRA and its customers," said
John Adams, general manager
of the San Bernard Electric Co-
operative, which provides
electric service in Austin, Col-
orado, Lavaca, Waller, Mont-
gomery, Harris and Grimes
counties.
Adams made his remarks to
the LCRA Board "before its 15
members approved the 10 year
plan. In years past, the LCRA
and its customers often opposed
each other before the state's
Public Utility Commission,
Those days of animosity are
gone, he said.
The LCRA and its customers
continually monitor the de-
mand for power and update
their growth plans accordingly,
Adams said.
"Ten years is a good ways out
for planning transmission pro-
jects," he said. "Our plans may
be modified as the growth rate
changes.”
In response to incorrect en-
rollment information dis-
tributed by others on the Inter-
net, the STVHCS is clarifying
recent changes regarding veter-
ans' eligibility for health care.
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is required by law
»to establish an enrollment sys-
tem for health-care services to
be in place by October 1, 1998.
While veterans must be en-
rolled to receive care, it does
not mean that veterans who
have not applied for enroll-
ment by that date will lose
their eligibility for VA health
care. Veterans can apply and be
enrolled at the time they are in
need of VA health care. Veter-
ans who have received VA
health-care services since Oc-
tober 1, 1996, will have an ap-
plication processed automati-
cally on their behalf.
"Enrolling for VA health-
care services will provide im-
proved access for San Antonio
and South Texas-area veterans
to a comprehensive package of
services," said Jose R. Coron-
ado, FACHE, director, South
Texas Veterans Health Care
System.
Applicants will be placed in
one of seven enrollment priority
groups, specified by Congress.
Based on the priority they are
assigned, the number of other
veterans requesting to be en-
rolled, and the funds available
for VA health care, VA will
determine how many veterans
can be served. Veterans will be
notified by mail beginning in
late spring whether or not their
application for enrollment has
been accepted.
After October 1, 1998, some
veterans may still be treated
without having to enroll. Vet-
■erans with service-gonuacted
disabilities may be fruited for
» those disabilities aid veterans
who were discharged or re-
leased from active duty for a
disability incurred or aggra-
vated while on active duty
may be treated for that dis-
ability within the first 12
months after their discharge.
Also, veterans who are clas-
sified as being service-disabled
with a rating of 50 percent Or
greater wiH continue to be eli-
gible to receive VA healthcare
services without making
application for enrollment.
While veterans in these cat-
egories do hot have to enroll to
be treated, they are encouraged
to do so to help VA plan its
services and allocate its re-
sources.
Those who are enrolled will
be eligible for inpatient and out
patient services, including pre-
ventive and primary care.
Other services include: diagno-.
sis and treatment; rehabilita-
tion; mental health and sub-
stance abuse treatment; home
health, respite
care and drugs and pi
ticals in conjunction
treatment.

Veterans accepted for enroll-
ment will be eligible to receive
care at any of VA's more than
1,100 service sites. While en-
rollment must be renewed every
year, a veteran's enrollment
will automatically be renewed
unless he or she chooses not to
re-enroll, or unless VA resources
limit the number of veterans
the department can cover. Cer-
tain veterans will be asked to
provide income information
annually in order for VA to
properly classify them within
the enrollment system, as re-
quired by law.
