Montford Bill Would Push Water District Creation In Terry County
The Texas Legislature considers Senate Bill 761 to allow the Texas Water Commission to form a water district in Terry County if conditions show underground water shortages and land subsidence. The commission would hold hearings, determine need, and could order a district election with five temporary directors if benefits and public welfare are found. Other bills on underground water face scrutiny from experts like Wayne Wyatt, who notes rapid push and concerns about broad solutions. See Water.page 5
