Officials may team up to buy Circle K ranch
State and local officials may collaborate to purchase the 7,000 acre Circle K ranch in Edwards County and retire water rights. Sharon Falk of Big Bend Groundwater Management District No. 5 says district involvement could ease funding and gain legislative receptivity. The property, valued at 3.2 million by appraisers, remains contested as Hays resists selling below 4.2 million. The plan aims to stabilize groundwater and restore Arkansas River flow from Kinsley to Great Bend.
