Below the spillgates at Lake McQueeney
The Fourth Court of Appeals has sided with the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) in a legal battle with lake property owners.
The court recently found property owners had no legal standing to sue the authority over property improvement losses after spill gates on two of its dams collapsed in recent years.
Lakes Wood and Dunlap were drained by collapsed spill gates, and then the GBRA lowered water levels on its other lakes out of fears similar spill gates on those dams would collapse, too.
Plaintiffs Attorney Doug Sutter plans to appeal the decision. He said the GBRA licensed those improvements, like docks and boat houses.
Osakis Lake Association hopes lakeshore taxes can cover the bill through a Lake Improvement District 12:00 am, Jul. 2, 2021 ×

Curly leaf pondweed invaded Lake Osakis decades ago, so long ago that many boaters assume that the wavy-leafed plant belongs there, said Osakis Lake Association President Bruce Magnus.
However, it’s actually a trouble-making intruder originally from Eurasia, Africa, and Australia that the DNR says was first noted in Minnesota in 1910. Magnus estimates it will cost about $200,000 a year for three years to treat.
