In response to rising water levels at Lake Travis, the Lower Colorado River Authority took action to manage floodwater. The authority opened floodgates at two dams to allow water to flow downstream.

Two floodgates were opened at Tom Miller Dam, and one was opened at Mansfield Dam. This action was taken on Saturday, following a period of heavy rainfall in the area.

Further details about the floodgate openings and their impact on the area are available from the Lower Colorado River Authority and news outlets, including CBS Austin.
