A year ago, Lake Travis began rising, after years of drought had dropped the lake level. After another month full of rain, the lake is over 110 percent full and continues to rise.

The high waters are now putting more residents, who live near the lake, on edge.

Neighbors at the Graveyard Point Subdivision told KVUE News that several families have already packed their bags and left their homes. Several waterfront homes in the neighborhood are already under water.

The Lake Travis Fire Rescue Team came out here to check on the residents to see if they needed any assistance.

One of the neighbors, George Lavas, said he has not seen this much water at Graveyard Point, since 2007. During that year, he said his house had up to eight feet of water.

Lavas said he spent around $300,000 renovating to build his house up higher to prevent it from being swept away.

However, this year, he said the water levels are still getting a little to close for comfort, so he reserved a truck to pack some of his belongings.

“We have a small a basement below our house, we moved the stuff out of our basement to the garage floor and if it continues up, we’ll clean our garage out,” said George Lavas, neighbor.

Officials with the Travis County Office of Emergency management said they issued a warning to about 30 residents, who need to be on standby, due to the rising waters.

As of Friday morning, Lake Travis was 115 percent full at 689.4 feet. The lake is considered full at 681 feet and the June average for the lake is approximately 669.4 feet.

The Lower Colorado River Authority said flood releases will continue through three floodgates and through hydroelectric generation at Mansfield Dam.

The LCRA is forecasting Lake Travis to rise to between 690 and 692 feet by June 3-4.
