Beetles or not, water oak are prone to rot and can be problematic near structures. Keep an eye on it.

Oh I am I two of them and they are the last two trees to survive on the property. I need to find a tree farm that has some Shumard oaks that will do transplanting. I called Louisiana tree farm in Bunkie but they don't do transplanting and the lady said she didn't thing they had any Shumard.

That's putting it nicely...

I've never seen a water oak that didn't rot from the center eventually--that's why the damn things have that name.

I can't stand water oaks. Not good for anything except harboring caterpillars, birds, and squirrels--and just about any other oak is good for that as well.
