Editor’s note: This story ran in the Eagle Mountain Lake special section produced by The Azle News and Springtown Epigraph in February. With boating season upon us, we are running it again in the interest of promoting knowledge of the changes in TRWD’s general ordinance and safety for all on our local lake.

Boaters and water crafters who frequent Eagle Mountain Lake will have to pay a bit more attention to how close they get to the shoreline, docks and other boats this summer.

Lt. Chris Akers and Sgt. Rick Odom of Tarrant Regional Water District’s Law Enforcement Division recently sat down with The Azle News and Springtown Epigraph to discuss the various updates to the district’s general ordinance — along with the biggest change that will affect every lakegoer.
