We have discovered undercutting and erosion of the bank around Lake One. Please maintain 10 feet from the shoreline for safety. Please bear with us as there may be a temporary inability to mow this area.

The District is monitoring the weather and projected level of the Brazos River at the Richmond gauge, as published by the National Weather Service, Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service. The District has a risk of flood waters entering the community from the Brazos River once the river reaches approximately 52 feet on the Richmond gauge.

As a precaution, if the river level at the Richmond gauge is projected to exceed 45 feet, the District will activate an emergency response plan and install Tiger Tubes along the future alignment of the District’s South Berm (seen below) to prevent or mitigate water from backing up into the District from the south and through the District’s outfall pipe. You may recall that Tiger Tubes were deployed north of the District in 2019 as a precautionary measure; however, as the District’s “DRS Berm” has been completed along that alignment, the tubes will not be installed in that location. The District will also rent pumps for both the north and south locations to pump water up and over the berm and Tiger Tubes if necessary.

The District has declared a vacancy on its Board of Directors. If you would like to serve on the Board, please notify us by sending an email with a statement of interest and resume to board@fbmud140.org. The position will be filled by appointment of the remaining Board of Directors at a future meeting. Depending on interest, a special meeting or committee meeting may be set up to interview candidates. For your convenience, below is the Affidavit that must be signed prior to taking office, and it includes the legal eligibility requirements of the office.

The deadline to submit a resume is April 1, 2021.
