    LAKE LIVINGSTON, Texas ( KETK ) – The Trinity River Authority declared a “potential failure watch” for the Lake Livingston Dam spillway on Thursday.

    Powell Street in Lufkin closed forever

    The dam’s spillway was reportedly “adversely impacted” by the heavy rainfall that recently hit the area and caused flooding across Trinity and Polk counties. Officials said that while there is no immediate danger of the dam failing, there is a potential remote chance that the dam could fail.
