Lake Georgetown Lake Levels

The Lake Georgetown lake level fell 22 feet below normal back in August of 2009 and dropped at a rate of about one foot per week. Because of the seriousness of this situation, the District coordinated efforts with the Brazos River Authority (who manages Lake Georgetown’s water supply) to curtail water use in the Region by implementing Stage II of our Drought Management Plan at that time.

The picture #1 was an image of Lake Georgetown back in August and the black line reflects where the "Normal" lake level should be and the red line reflects where the lake was at that time.

The picture #2 is an image of Lake Georgetown in its current state.  The black line relects where the "Normal" lake level should be.  As you can see, we have achieved our goal and for that reason, the Stage II has been lifted.  We thank our residents for all of their conservation efforts.

The Environmetal Protection Agency (EPA) and other national and local agencies provide useful tools for kids and families to learn together on how to conserve water.  Water Conservation is a group effort and the District appreciates all Residents who help in conserving as much water as possible.

Below are links to learn how your family uses water and what you can do together to help conserve water every day.  Remember that every little bit counts each time you conserve water.  The activities or links located in this section and at the bottom of this page (Eartheasy,Watersense) can help engage discussion with your children on what your family can do to help be more "Water Smart"!

Here are some kid friendly links and activities about water and water conservation:
