Field notes

Addicks Reservoir's latest daily level (Oct 25, 2026) is 76.38 ft.

Addicks Reservoir is a flood-control reservoir, so TWDB does not report a percent-full figure for it; the elevation is the main number to watch.

The level has been roughly steady over the past week (±0.00 ft).

Compared with a year ago (76.50 ft), the lake is 0.12 ft lower.

In TWDB's dataset (since 2002), the highest level recorded is 109.06 ft (Aug 30, 2017) and the lowest is 67.15 ft (Jun 18, 2020). Older records may be monthly rather than daily.
