LCRA postpones refill of Lake Marble Falls
Lake drawdown now set to end by early February
Dec. 9, 2022
The refill, which originally was scheduled to begin Dec. 26, now is expected to begin by early February.
“The work on the intake structure at the dam is taking longer than originally expected, so we need to keep the lake drawn down a few more weeks,” said John Hofmann, LCRA executive vice president of Water. “The work is important to help ensure the hydroelectric generators at the dam continue to operate efficiently and reliably. As soon as we get the work complete, we’ll provide an exact date for when the refill will start.”
The lake was lowered about 7 feet in October.
Lakeside property owners who are performing work on their docks, retaining walls and other structures should plan to finish their work by Jan. 15, as the refill could potentially begin earlier than February.
