Water Use Declines In July
The Colorado River Municipal Water District reports July deliveries at 2.0 billion gallons, short of last July’s 2.1 billion. Municipal demand fell 120 million from a year ago to 1.4 billion, while oil and industrial deliveries stood at 505.5 million. For seven months, district usage trails 1972 pace by nearly a billion gallons, with municipal losses driving most of the gap. August is unlikely to reach the prior peak, and yearly totals probably won’t match last year. Odessa, Big Spring, Snyder, Stanton, Midland, and San Angelo show varied changes in July. Of the oil sector volume, 112 million gallons were brackish water for repressuring.
