Lake Placid Conditions and Alerts

Lake Placid (TP-4) to be Lowered June 13th for inspections

Beginning the morning of Friday June 13, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) hydroelectric crews will perform operational tests to the Lake Placid (TP-4) dam. During these tests, Lake Placid’s elevation may drop below the current level, which is approximately 12 inches below the normal level. During these tests, water will be passed over the Lake Placid gates at high flow rates for a short period of time. Boaters, recreationists, and homeowners should avoid these areas during periods of high flows. Based on current inflows after the tests, it could take 24 to 48 hours for Lake Placid to refill. Lake Placid will remain approximately 12 inches below the normal level until the spill gate repairs are completed.
Repairs are tentatively scheduled to be completed June 20. The lake could return to normal pool level at that time. GBRA will confirm the date in advance. The public is advised that these scheduled operations may be completed early or may need to be extended for an additional period of time. Operations also may be adjusted or canceled in the event of adverse weather conditions. GBRA advises anyone using Lake Placid for recreation purposes during this time to exercise caution. Lower lake levels may expose debris and other potential hazards that are normally underwater. The GBRA was established by the Texas Legislature in 1933 as a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in its 10-county statutory district, which begins near the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, ends at San Antonio Bay, and includes Kendall, Comal, Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties.
