City Council Member Dave Martin would like to make Lake Houston area residents aware the City of Houston Public Works Department is conducting a short survey and would like your input.

TAKE SURVEY: www.surveymonkey.com /r/lakehouston

Since March 2018, Lake Houston has been lowered six times in the advance of inclement weather at the request of Council Member Martin. Each time the lake was temporarily lowered it was lowered between twelve to eighteen inches.
 
Normal pool elevation for Lake Houston is 42.5 feet. Most recently in February, the lake was lowered to 41.5 feet to conduct necessary repairs to the spillway dam and the lake remains close to that level today.

Resident participation in this survey will determine if the City chooses to maintain the current lower water level of 41.5 feet temporarily during the 2019 rainy season or lower the lake an additional six inches to provide more storage in the lake during the wetter months of the year. These measures are strictly temporary for the rainy season only and this survey will assist in providing the City with valuable information before a decision is made.
 
TAKE SURVEY: www.surveymonkey.com /r/lakehouston
 
If a seasonal release is not favorable, the City of Houston plans to continue releasing water on a situational basis. During 2018, the lake was lowered when the San Jacinto River Watershed was forecast to receive more than three inches of rain during a single weather event. The lower lake levels are all temporary and no permanent lowering of Lake Houston is being considered.
 
The Lake Houston Survey will be open until April 2, 2019 and may only be taken once.
 
To fill out the survey please follow this link. www.surveymonkey.com /r/lakehouston
 
The survey should take no longer than two minutes to complete. 4951

That was quick. What about people with lakefront property that have a terrible view when they lower the lake. Each time they lower it, it's been unnecessary. It shoulda/coulda/woulda been lowered for Harvey and wasn't. It's like locking the barn after the animals escape. 4951

Why are they not going to dredge the entire lake, which would make it more useable in the summer, even if lowering the level would be necessary???? 4951

@ET : Lol... this survey is a joke. They want boaters to say we don't want it lowered anymore. So they don't have to lower it anymore and they can say that they gave us a survey and these were the results the people voted for. 4951

@ET : Well, yeah. The activity on the lake just doesn't reflect the area population. The lakes out in the boonies have more traffic. 4951
