LCRA Floodgates Open at Lake Austin
Description
Floodgates at Tom Miller Dam on Lake Austin and Lake Bastrop opened Monday morning after both lakes hit their max levels—Lake Austin at 492.8 feet around 7:15 AM, followed by Lake Bastrop by 8 AM. This rare event, last seen in 2025 during Independence Day floods, is a controlled release to prevent overflow. Other LCRA lakes like Lake Travis remain well below capacity. The LCRA is closely monitoring conditions to maintain balance as heavy rains continue.
