Austin police say they will be enforcing the personal watercraft ban on Lake Austin over the Fourth of July weekend. Despite this, residents still found ways to enjoy the water.
Sherwinsky says low lake levels in the area don't really affect the number of people coming in.
"I would say it probably increases our capacity here in terms of demand coming in, because Lake Travis is so low... they dropped down Mansfield Dam temporarily because of low lake levels, and Lady Bird Lake, you're getting all that seaweed, algae kind of exposing through the bottom of the lake so those low waters are affected there, however over here on Lake Austin, it really isn't an issue," he said.
. The ban is necessary for keeping everyone safe. This only applies to Lake Austin and goes into effect Monday at sunset and ends Wednesday at sunrise. Anything non-motorized like kayaks and paddleboards are still allowed.that I have read and agree
