Gate failure jeopardizes remaining water at Lake Brownwood
Floodgate at Lake Brownwood remains open after a gate failed to close since last Tuesday. About 30,000 acre feet of water have run out, with 14,000 acre feet sold to Gulf Coast Water Company for rice irrigation in Wharton and Matagorda counties. The district chases possible action against the gate manufacturer as officials seek to prevent further drainage.
