DONNA CAMPBELL, M.D. ‘TEXAS STATE SENATOR May 20, 2019 ‘The Honorable Greg Abbott P.O. Box 12428 Austin, Texas 78711-2428 Dear Governor Abbott, Last week a dam collapsed on Lake Dunlap, in New Braunfels, Guadalupe County. Close to 100,000 water customers are serviced by the reservoir. Failure of this dam has dropped the water level by 11 feet, now putting a strain on the down flow dam of Lake McQueeney. Lake ‘McQueeney is one of six hydro lakes managed by Guadalupe Blanco River Authority, responsible for both water and electricity. ‘The Guadalupe Blanco River Authority cannot fund the dam repairs. This local disaster is estimated to cost $28 million. We respectfully ask your assistance to fund the repairs of the Dunlap Dam. Sincerely, Senator Donna Campbell, M.D. Representative John Kuempel Chairman, Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs & Border Security
