A friend of mine had to drill a new well once the lake was gone 950'! It was crazy expensive. Every well in his rural area went dry.
We have two pieces of rural property. The larger piece has a well. The smaller one, (an investment purchse) only has two stock tanks on it. Our sharp realtor of many years encouraged us to go ahead and get on the local water cooperative's customer list NOW at least. "You may not be able to in t he near future. Water shortages in some parts of Central TX are denying well permits (around Waco) or are not adding new customers AT ALL". We had a meter installed ASAP in case we ever decided to build a home on the place downstream. A boon to Lucky next owners, as she told us the day we applied their $3300 set up was going up to $5000 at the end of that month. My jaw dropped!
