The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) Board of Directors will hold one more special meeting on February 20
th
to hear public comment on the temporary flood mitigation strategy of lowering Lake Conroe on a seasonal basis.
The lowering of Lake Conroe one foot in the spring and two feet in the fall is intended to provide flood mitigation benefits for downstream residents by increasing capacity to catch rainfall and runoff in the lake. The strategy is reviewed annually and is currently authorized by both the SJRA Board of Directors and the City of Houston as the two entities each own water rights in Lake Conroe.
The special meetings are exclusively for addressing the lake lowering strategy. No other items are planned for the special meeting agendas, and the board does not intend to consider the lake lowering strategy at its regular board meeting in February.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS SPECIAL MEETING DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION
Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 6pm at Lone Star Convention and Expo Center, 9055 Airport Road, Conroe, Texas 77303. Doors will open AFTER 4:30pm due to scheduling availability at the Lone Star Convention Center.
