Some Kerr County residents urged commissioners to back the draining of Lake Ingram because of the public health threat it possesses and to allow for a cleanup.
Human remains have been found in the lake due to the flooding that killed more than 100. Residents said the waters are emitting foul odors that are reaching into homes. It's also full of vehicles, fencing, and other debris.
The commissioners' court told residents the state has yet to give the go-ahead for such a draining.
