San Saba Dam Project Described as Under Active Consideration
A government letter prepared for C B Harkey of San Saba explains that the San Saba River dam near Brady Creek is under study within a broader Texas water program led by the U S Bureau of Reclamation. It notes potential subsidization by a statewide water project revenue stream and promises a report within two to three years. The missive, dated April 10 1957, references Lyndon B Johnson and cooperation with the Lower Colorado River Authority.
