Lake Benbrook, August 21, 2011

Showing Benbrook Marina sitting on dry ground. Lake Benbrook is currently 13 feet low and that unfortunately puts the wonderful Benbrook Marina on dry ground once again, but no worries without a doubt the rains will come and we will all be praying for it to stop raining as the lake goes over the spillway. LOL

They are selling the water...

@specterkev

yes, the cities that use the water from lakes do have to pay for the water. The infrastructure of getting water from a lake to your sink is quite extensive and requires money to build, operate and maintain the system. Not sure what the problem is here or if your assuming some kind of conspiracy, but its painfully simple to understand

[specterkev]

it's pretty full now

We arrived the afternoon of the 8th and stayed at Holiday Park until Tuesday the 11th.

I was told the lake was down 18 feet at the time.

The latest Google Earth image date is 6-12-2011 which shows the lake at normal level so I was expecting to see a full lake but was sadly disappointed.

Today 12-10-11 weather.gov shows the level at 682.33, still down by 11.67 feet after the rains.

Hope it fills up soon, sad to see it like this.

There was a fire ban then too so no campfires were allowed. :(
