Official Source & Methodology

  • Reservoir elevation LCRA Hydromet · ID 3999 · ft msl (LCRA) Official page

The headline number is the reservoir elevation reported by LCRA Hydromet (typically every 15 minutes (current values only)). The "Measured" time is when the agency recorded it; "Retrieved" is when this site last downloaded it.

Recent readings are provisional and may be revised by the agency. Wind, waves and dam operations can change the level between readings. This page is not a flood warning or navigation service; for safety information contact the lake operator and the National Weather Service.
