The last of the four Mansfield Dam floodgates will be closed around Nov. 7 or so as the Lower Colorado River Authority manages floodwaters in the system of lakes feeding into Lake Travis.
“Based on current circumstances, the floodgates will be open until early to mid November,” said Phil Wilson, LCRA general manager, last weekend.
The historic flooding event has impacted the Four Points area which is home to Lake Travis and Lake Austin. Both lakes have been closed since the flooding began.
