Dear community members,
Drought conditions have continued, and the level of Lake Belton dropped below the Stage 2 – Drought Warning trigger of 578.7 ft-msl on July 31, 2023. As such, the BRA is implementing a Stage 2 – Drought Warning condition for Lake Belton.
The stated goal of a Stage 2 – Drought Warning in the BRA Drought Contingency Plan (Plan) is a ten percent (10%) reduction in water use that would have occurred in the absence of any drought contingency measures.

Additional information on the implementation of the Stage 2 – Drought Warning condition can be found on pages 6, 10, and 11 of the BRA Plan, which is available on our website at https://www.brazos.org under About Us – Water Supply – Drought – Drought Contingency Plan.

Stay Away From Unfamiliar Animals
03 May 2023
Dear community members,
We want to inform you that a cat has been diagnosed with rabies in our area. We want to assure you that this is an isolated incident and there is no need to panic.
It is important to remember that rabies can only be transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, typically through a bite. The best way to protect yourself and your pets is to make sure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations and to avoid contact with wild animals or unfamiliar pets.
If you come across an animal that appears to be sick or behaving strangely, please contact animal control or health department. We will be able to provide you with the necessary guidance and support.
We take the safety and well-being of our community seriously and are monitoring the situation closely. We encourage you to stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
