Across North Texas, drought conditions are continuing to expand and lakes in our area are ranging from about 70-95% full. Lake Lavon is 84% full.
Woodruff said that water at Lake Lavon is about three feet low, but back in 2011 it was over 10 feet low and the marina had to be moved.
"2011 was a really bad year," he said."Big undertaking to do that. It is a difficult task and an expensive task." The Texas Water Development Board's most recent drought map shows 97% of the state is now under drought conditions. The only time that number reached 100% was back in 2011. "Well, you know we just kind of go day by day and we keep an eye on the water and we talk to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers," he said."We're hoping that we get some rain. The lake can fill up just as quick as it goes down.
