Some homeowners are raising concerns that water releases from Lake Conroe are making flooding worse. The homeowners expressed their frustrations to FOX 26 Houston about the San Jacinto River Authority releasing water into the San Jacinto River which is now flooding."When we moved, we knew this was a high-risk area," said Jordan Ortiz, a resident of the River Plantation Community in Humble.
FOX 26 Houston asked the SJRA about people's concerns regarding the release of water they said caused their homes to flood. " Well, once again, our role is to maintain the integrity of the dam and as we have rainfall and storm events, and Mother Nature sends that rain, we don’t know when and how long and how much, and we respond to that by opening our gates to protect our lake and our dam," said Spear.
