Answer The Sabine River Authority routinely tests the Sabine River and Lake Tawakoni for metals, including mercury, as well as numerous other pollutants. Harmful amounts of mercury have never been detected. The Texas Department of Health has also tested fish tissue in Lake Tawakoni and harmful levels of mercury were not found.
