Upper Trinity Regional Water District Board Treasurer Allen McCracken reported on the truth of Texas’ water shortage during the PointBank Business Breakfast in Pilot Point on Wednesday.
McCracken opened with an update and history on Lake Ralph Hall, which will add supply to the area, before pressing that even its additional 50 million gallons a day will not stop the bleed.
“The planning for Lake Ralph Hall, which is currently under construction, started in the late ’80s,” McCracken said. “We did not receive approval from the state of Texas, until 2013. In 2021, we had actually acquired enough property that we could start construction and God will- ing, that lake will be completed in 2026.”
