Zebra Mussels Found in Lewisville Lake
Zebra Mussels are filter feeders that cause economic and recreational disarray in the bodies of water they inhabit.  Unfortunately, less than a year after discovering this harmful species in Lake Ray Roberts, the infestation has spread to neighboring Lake Lewisville.  Zebra mussels’ larvae are invisible to the human eye and are therefore easily spread when boats and trailers are moved from lake to lake without proper cleaning. Please help us in our effort to prohibit the transfer of zebra mussels to more Texas lakes by always properly cleaning, draining (including live wells and bilges) and drying your boat, trailer and gear. For additional information and materials to distribute to boaters, please visit texasinvasives.org.

Remove Sediment from Water Hose Before Using – RV Tip #167
