GBRA Reaches Deal With Some Lake Property Owners Over Dams, Spill Gates

The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority has reached a settlement agreement with about ten property owners on Lakes McQueeney and Placid over aging dams and spill gates.

Two groups of property owners sued GBRA after it announced plans to drain four lakes following spill gates collapses at Lake Wood in 2016 and Lake Dunlap in 2019.
