  • Construction schedule update at Canyon Lake

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Canyon Lake has rescheduled gate replacement work that was planned for this year. The gates are functioning as designed and priority in sequence of repairs has changed.  Work on the control tower service bridge will precede gate replacement work.  As a result of this change, USACE does not anticipate disruptions to river flow releases that would have resulted from the gate replacement work. USACE intends to change over low flow releases to the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority later this week.
  • Outlet work at Canyon Lake impacts low flow releases

    Canyon Dam flood gate replacement work by the Tennessee Valley Authority is scheduled for December 5, 2022 through April 15, 2023 impacting low flow releases.  Low flow releases can range from 55 to 95 cubic feet per second; however, during days when TVA workers need to be in the conduit, flows will be shut off.  Usually, the workdays are 10 hours in length and during the 14 hour off duty period, catch up releases will be made.  This strategy will minimize stream flow disruptions and allow needed flood gate replacement work to be accomplished in a safe, timely and cost-effective manner.
