No way that north Texas can continue to boom population-wise like we are and are projected to, and not outgrow the water supply. WAY too many people waste water like it’ll never run out.
My fear is The next five year drought is coming sooner than later. Hope people haven’t become forgetful with the last six wet years and the water districts having full lakes.

Well, if that were true. 16,000 acres near Canadian growing up, 1,800 South of Tolar. Numerous small places in Parker County over the years.

Seems strange someone would make this comment in the context of being compensated.
“They were compensated, by NTMWD.” Posted by Chad C
Really goes to the core for two points. 1. This land would be stolen with eminent domain if they refused to except the pennies on the dollar offers. 2. Agreed no one owns their land to begin with. The tax office owns every piece of land in Texas. If you wish to argue this point simply refuse to pay the yearly ransom tax on your property and see how long you keep it. Just my $.02.

I saw a pretty neat documentary on this lake being built a few years ago. Not sure on the name of it but it was mainly about a guy who was losing his land and taking a canoe trip down Bois d'Arc creek and how all the land was soon going to be underwater. Guess it all is now. progress sucks for most people. Others get rich off of it.
