***Lake levels shown are feet below the spillway***
Lake Ft.Phantom =14.7 feet low,38.9% capacity
Lake Stamford = 15.50 feet low, 13.9% capacity
Lake Millers Creek = 21.5 feet low, 14.2% capacity
Lake Hubbard Creek = 26.0 feet low. 20.3% capacity
Lake Ivie = 38.4 feet low. 18.8% capacity (Lake has gained multiple feet of water since June)
Lake Brownwood =11.6 feet low, 50.2% capacity
Lake Leon =5.0 feet low, 74.1% capacity
Oak Creek =23.3 feet low, 18.9% capacity
Lake Possum Kingdom =15.1 feet low, 61.3% capacity
Lake Proctor =10.8 feet low, 36.4% capacity
Lake Spence =76.2 feet low, 1.9% capacity
Multiple towns are in danger of losing their raw water supply, especially those pulling from Millers Creek Lake. Multiple lakes now have less than a two year supply of water to pump from a lake to the raw water intakes. Wichita Falls is in a stage in which they are mixing treated waste water directly into their raw water line from Lake Arrowhead without pumping into a lake first.
Good Fishing and Pray for Rain

Thor, Zeus, and all the other storm gods have received the message. Maybe some help will come. PS Maybe if so much water wasn't being rerouted for frakking there might be some left for drinking and fishing.

Looks like the storm gods are responding. Weather forecast looks good for rain.

Was in wichita falls the other day, still alot of green lawns in certain neighborhoods. You would think that drinking water was more important than watering the lawn.

PS Maybe if so much water wasn't being rerouted for frakking there might be some left for drinking and fishing. If people didn't take 10+ minute showers, leave the water running when they brush their teeth, water their sidewalks and driveways, water their lawn more then 2+ times a week...I can go on....quit being a follower... Hopefully we get a wet winter...we could all use it....

Moved from Fl to San Angelo 8 years ago, lakes were low but had some water still. Was surprised that lawn watering restrictions then in San Angelo were basically non existent. Would see lawns being watered in middle of the day when it was 100+ outside, figured most was evaporating. Restrictions in Fl with all its rains and water are much stricter, back then and still are now that I am back in Fl.

People will waste water until there is no more and then cry. I live in Granbury and the lake is way down, most ramps are no good or difficult at best and they still have their lawn sprinklers on in the rain and freezing temps in the winter.
