Spill gates

The Guadalupe Blanco River Authority is praising last week's Texas Supreme Court affirmation that upholds an appeals court ruling to dismiss claims by property owners in connection with dam spillgate failures in recent years.

The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority reported their operations team is working on a non-responsive spillgate at Lake Gonzales.

Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the day the spill gate collapsed on Lake Dunlap. The collapse led to lawsuits and elections to create a water control district to replace the dam and others like it.

A preliminary design from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) shows the potential new spill gates and structural reinforcement at the severely damaged Lake Dunlap dam.
