Central Texas about to lose a few man-made lakes

Essentially, after two dam failures, the government can no longer trust the remaining dams in the area, so they are going to lower the water level back to the pre-dam levels.
This of course leads to loss of value for the people who live on the lakes, as well as potential land collapse issues.
Toward the end of the article, it seems like the locals are willing to tax themselves to build new dams. That seems like the only real solution here.
I guess the O-T's favorite state has shitty infrastructure as well.

Damn dams

Removing the dams might not be such a bad thing. Create a large greenway/open space area that can be used by the community and serve ecological benefits.

More like shitty infrastructure maintenance.

Pretty sure the locals will gladly take on the tax rather than lose all of their property value.

It’s crazy t think that the entire State of Texas has only one natural lake, everything else is man made.

Absolute arse for all the people that haven’t paid off their lake house yet.
Some people are going to be completely upside down on some worthless “lake front” property

There will definitely be some foundation issues but I think the smell is gonna be the worst part.

Not exactly the same thing, but Columbus, Ohio just finished a project that removed a bunch of dams on the Scioto river and created a beautiful new greenspace in downtown Columubus.

Its a large river system. Look upstream and downstream of those lakes and there is plenty of vegetation that thrives in the vicinity of those rivers' floodplains.
