Leander lake that mysteriously drained sees water levels drop further despite recent rain

LEANDER, Texas (KXAN) -- Scott Calame noticed the change in his local lake some weeks ago. The Leander resident walks the shores of Lakewood Park regularly. A popular neighborhood lake, its shores are lined with spots for fishing, boating and grilling.

"It's shocking really. This park is kind of a crown jewel park for the city of Leander," Calame said.

Scott noticed the water level dropping. Parts of the shore that were once underwater, now several feet from the water line. The city of Leander was told by the group that manages the lake, the Upper Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District (WCID), that the water would not drop any further and would reflow through rain and natural inflows.

The rain came, but now Calame says the water is lower than before.
