Last night WFAA did a story on another Texas town that is on the verge of running out of water. Grosebeck is one of seventeen towns the TCEQ says will be out of water by the end of the year. Maybe even this month. It's 90 miles outside of Dallas. In a state the size of Texas, that's too close for comfort.
WFAA also has a story on the water main break in Denton forcing the hospital to stop admitting patients in the Emergency Room. How do you run a hospital with no water? How do you run a city with no water? Heaven forbid, a state?
The NPR sheds some light on some of the Texas water problems, they run deep. From soon drinking our own waste, to how much water energy companies really use (no one knows), to how long it will be before a "barrel of water is worth more than a barrel of oil."
And check out the Stockyards Cesspool and the Free spirit trying to save it in the Fort Worth Weeky.
Does anyone else see a pattern here?
