Cottonwood Dozier Project Ties to Salt Fork Dam Plans
The Collingsworth County Water Board considers building lakes on Cottonwood and Dozier Creeks as part of the Cottonwood Dozier project. The plan may involve land owned by the county’s Water Control and Improvement District No. 1. Officials note water quality is strong with Cottonwood Creek near city water standards. Construction could be delayed by Salt Fork Dam work, as the Dozier dam site would be submerged if Salt Fork proceeds. The proposal originated with the Builders Club before city council and commissioners.
