Summer is here, and that means there’s no better time than now to start prepping for your next lake or river day in Central Texas.\u00a0Heavy recent\u00a0rainfall<\/a> has left several Austin-area waterways ready for swimmers<\/a> and now one small town now is safe from catastrophic water outages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The City of Pflugerville announced on June 17<\/a> that Lake Pflugerville is officially full, in part thanks to the community’s continued water conservation efforts. The north Austin suburb had\u00a0been under Stage 3 water restrictions since March<\/a> after five breaks were found in the city’s existing raw waterline.<\/p>\n

In early March, engineers estimated that Pflugerville could run out of water by mid-April, which prompted city leaders to take emergency action to repair and strengthen the city’s water supply, which mainly comes from Lake Pflugerville. The city said it’s also moving forward with purchasing replacement filtration equipment that\u00a0will increase the facility’s operational capacity and help the town meet normal summer water demands.<\/p>\n

Here’s an update on other Austin-area lake levels at the end of June:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Austin is 97.9% full as of Monday, June 29, according to\u00a0Water Data for Texas<\/a>. Its capacity is 23,972 acre-feet, and its current conservation storage is 23469 acre-feet.<\/p>\n

On June 26, 2025, Lake Austin was 95.8% full, making this year a 1.4% increase since last.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Travis, a reservoir on the Colorado River, is currently 85.7% full, which is a nearly 11% increase in water since\u00a0last month’s May\u00a0data<\/a>. Its capacity is 1,098,044 acre-feet, and its current conservation storage sits at 941,010 acre-feet. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Georgetown remains 100% full as of Monday, June 29, per its state water data<\/a>.\u00a0The lake, north of Austin in Georgetown, has reported no change in water levels since last month. Its capacity is currently the same number as its current conservation\u00a0storage: 38,005 acre-feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Granger Lake, northeast of Austin, is also 100% full, the same as it was in May, according to its water data<\/a>. It shares the same capacity and current conservation storage of 51,822 acre-feet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Marble Falls is 95.2% full as of June 26, a\u00a02.4% increase since last month<\/a>. It has a capacity of 7,597 acre-feet, and the current conservation storage is 7,233 acre-feet. The lake is located in Marble Falls, about a 50-mile drive northwest of Austin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ)<\/p>\n

Also located in Marble Falls is Lake\u00a0L. B. Johnson, which currently stands at 98.5% full, a .3% increase since May<\/a>. Its capacity is 112,778 acre-feet, and its current conservation storage sits at 111,045 acre-feet. Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls are two separate, distinct reservoirs along the Texas Highland Lakes in Marble Falls.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summer is here, and that means there’s no better time than now to start prepping for your next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,820],"class_list":["post-355840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-mysastaff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
