WELCOME TO THE BRAZOS RIVER AUTHORITY
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICER
To the people of Senate District 22 and others in the Brazos River basin, as the Presiding Officer of the Board of Directors of the Brazos River Authority, I have recently been made aware of several disturbing allegations that have been made regarding the Authority and more specifically our management of the hydroelectric facility located on Morris Sheppard Dam at Possum Kingdom Lake. To that end, I would like to take the opportunity to address some of the accusations. For more, click here.
RAINFALL ENDS LAKE PROCTOR DROUGHT WATCH
 Due to recent rainfall in the Lake Proctor watershed, the Authority has terminated the lake’s Stage 1 Drought Watch.
Rainfall since the beginning of this year has raised Lake Proctor’s elevation from 1154.74 feet mean sea level (msl) to 1159.5 msl, a rise of more than 2 feet above the Stage 1 trigger level of 1157 msl.
Although the Stage 1 Watch has been lifted, the Authority will continue to monitor lake and water supply conditions and will initiate any watches or warnings as appropriate.
