Borger based Canadian River Municipal Water Authority assumed control of the Lake Meredith water system in formal ceremonies. Leon Hill of the U S Bureau of Reclamation handed a symbolic master key to CRMWA president George Finger while plaques were given to Hill project engineer Spike Crane and Interior solicitor Fred Gray. The authority began managing the project July 1 and manager John C Williams noted a June water gain of 1000 acre feet despite Pampa and Plainview not yet taking water. Directors toured the lake by boat with Lubbock representatives present. The $84.6 million project will be repaid over 50 years from water sales to member cities and the National Parks Service will continue to regulate lake recreation.
