Information Regarding Bulkheads on Lake Conroe

The right to engage in construction, placement, operations and maintenance of private bulkhead on the Lake Conroe Reservoir or SJRA Land is not an inherent right that comes with the control or ownership of waterfront property.  No person shall construct, operate or maintain a Private bulkhead on Lake Conroe at any time without a proper permit.  The permit can be revoked at any time and for any reason deemed necessary.  SJRA is under no obligation to maintain a specific level of the Reservoir in order to facilitate the construction or use of a Private Bulkhead.
