So I moved out of Texas last year, but I come back to visit my kids and may move back in the next few years. I just saw something that said Medina is only 6% full? I don't know what it was a year ago which is when I was last there roughly, but 6% doesn't sound very sustainable. https://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/individual/medina

Water out of Medina is mainly used for irrigation. Level is very, very low.

Just one more cast!

I googled Medina Lake. SAWS has an ongoing study for it's use. The lake is still being used for irrigation.  Side Note: Not to say SAWS could be using the lake also.
