Brownfield Faces Low Lake Meredith Levels Amid Drought
Lake Meredith remains near a historic low as drought persists, yet Brownfield residents are urged to conserve. Water officials report a slow rise in the water table from 53.68 to 53.88 feet, with ongoing plans to add 3.2 billion gallons annually via new wells and CRMWA water rights. Conservation steps include reduced lawn watering after 6 pm, turning off water while brushing teeth, shorter showers, fixing leaks, and using a bucket for car washing.
