KERRVILLE, Texas – Kerr County leaders placed water safety and flood recovery at the center of their latest meeting, weighing major decisions on Ingram Lake and a proposed countywide flood warning system.
Residents of Ingram urged the court to consider draining Ingram Lake, a request that sparked discussion over environmental, safety, and community impacts following the catastrophic Fourth of July flood.
Another key item focused on flood preparedness. Commissioners reviewed a proposal for a countywide flood warning system, part of ongoing efforts to strengthen recovery measures following the devastating July 4 floods. The system would provide early alerts and improve coordination during severe weather emergencies.
Alongside these priorities, officials also addressed flood recovery updates, including FEMA coordination and repairs to local infrastructure. Together, the discussions highlighted Kerr County’s focus on balancing immediate recovery needs with long-term safety planning.
