FORT WORTH, TX ( J uly 6, 2007) - The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) will reopen Lake Bridgeport in Wise County to watercraft traffic effective Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. The lake level continues to fall due to the spillway discharges and a decrease in rainfall and runoff.

Lake Bridgeport remains above its conservation elevation of 836.00 feet above mean sea level (ft-msl). By 8:00 a.m. Saturday, the lake level should be near 837.50 ft-msl. Boaters on all area lakes are urged to use caution and to keep a lookout for submerged obstructions and floating debris.
