Boaters on Highland Lakes should look out for flood debris for several more weeks

Bacteria levels return to typical pre-flood levels, but caution is still advised.

AUSTIN — As the Highland Lakes continue to recover from recent flooding, the Lower Colo rado River Authority is reminding visitors to use caution on the lakes.

Some areas of the lakes still contain debris such as large tree limbs and trash carried in by July flooding and docks and boats that owners have not yet moved back to shore. LCRA advises boaters to avoid traveling on the lakes at night for several more weeks.
