Fort Bend County Water Control District has begun the work required to fix the water seepage in Lake 5 in Texana Plantation. The water well has been turned off and the lake level is lowering naturally while bids are being prepared and evaluated for the work. Lake Management personnel removed as many fish as they could this week and will be removing the fountain and lights in the next few weeks.
Due to vegetation in the lake they were not able to remove all of the fish. As a result the WCID and HOA are offering our residents who fish in Lake 5 the option to transport any fish caught to another lake in the community or to keep the fish for consumption. The lake level will not allow any future attempts to capture additional fish and the fish will die when the water is gone and the oxygen level is reduced.
