Storm prep repairs completed ahead of schedule

The Trinity River Authority Lake Livingston Dam repairs slated for completion July 8 were completed and tested July 7. The completed repairs helped ensure that the dam would be ready for the potential heavy rainfall related to Hurricane Beryl.

TRA officials said that if additional rain falls related to the storm, the dam should perform as designed and handle the potential high-flow event without impacting the integrity of the dam. Ten of the 12 dam gates are in full operation. The two gates that are not in operation are slated to be back online in the fall.

For more information, people may call 877-3523247, or visit the TRA website at trinityra.org.

Work began at 4 a.m. July 7 to pour concrete to seal erosion at the toe wall of the Lake Livingston Dam. Almost 1,000 cubic yards of concrete was poured to shield the stilling basin area. COURTESY PHOTO
