Inch by inch, Lake Dunlap in New Braunfels is slowly starting to refill nearly four years after a century-old dam collapsed. Millions of dollars later, a new dam stands, bringing the lake back to life.
“It just went rushing out. It then looked like something biblical where the gate exploded, and the water just came out in torrents. So it’s a little scary to see,” Doug Harrison said.
Before the dam failure, water levels would have been several feet high, but it will take two to three months to get back to this point. “We felt like, in the long run, it was very much to our advantage to go ahead and vote for the property tax and support it,” Jenkins said. Doug Harrison, president of Lake Dunlap’s Water Control And Improvement District, said the new dam will be easier to maintain for years to come.
