Injunction Halts Draining of GBRA Lakes | My Canyon Lake
GBRA will not drain its Guadalupe Valley lakes for 12 months to give experts more time to take a closer look at the aging dams it considers compromised.then make the lakes public. they want the dams repaired? with public money? yet they want to keep "their lakes" private? Then let them pay for it with their own money. But if they want to use public money, then I want on each lake public access - my tax money pays for it
Guess what? when they install the new dams they have to drain the lakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dams need repairing. It's not fair to the home owners and businesses that depend on them.
So who do they get to sue when the dams fail from not being maintained?
