Lake Thonotosassa Update
Despite reports that the District did not take measures to minimize flood risks for Lake Thonotosassa from Hurricane Milton, District structure operators lowered the lake the maximum amount prior to the storm. The District also conducted a federally funded debris removal project earlier this year on Flint Creek, which is a natural creek where water is released from the lake north to the Hillsborough River. Check out this video to learn how trees and limbs from a previous storm were removed to help water flow and reduce flood risks.
