Public Meeting on Lake Conroe: Lake Houston Joint Reservoir Operations Study
| A public meeting will be held on Thursday, March 5th, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Humble Civic Center (8233 Will Clayton Pkwy, Humble, TX 77338), to discuss the Lake Conroe – Lake Houston Joint Reservoir Operations Study. The goal of this Joint Reservoir Operations Study is to determine the most efficient and safe operation of Lake Conroe and Lake Houston. The study will evaluate the feasibility of prereleases including impacts on water supply. The study will also develop a forecasting tool for Lake Houston and support development of the gate operations policy for the proposed additional Lake Houston dam spillway gates. The cost of the study is funded by the City of Houston, City of Humble, and a Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) grant obtained by the San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA). The meeting will be in a symposium format, allowing members of the public to come and go at their convenience at any time between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. A high-level presentation summarizing study background, scope, and goals will be given at 6:30 p.m. Members of the study team, including staff from SJRA, the City of Houston (with its partner Coastal Water Authority), and the City of Humble, will be available before and after the presentation to collect input and answer questions. Comments will be accepted before, during, and following the meeting. Comments may be emailed to FloodManagementDivision@sjra.net or submitted online at www.LCLHJointOps.com.
