We all want a secure water future.  We all want a sound economy.  We all want the City of Wichita Falls and the entire Texoma region to prosper.  

 

But building Lake Ringgold won't help us reach those goals. 

​

Building Lake Ringgold will saddle the residents of Wichita Falls and its customer cities with nearly half a billion in debt – for a reservoir they don’t even need! That’s nearly $4,000 for every man, woman, and child in Wichita Falls and its customer communities.

City officials have been saying, “Oh, it won’t be built for years.” But Wichita Falls citizens have already paid millions for engineering work and there’s a lot more to come before the project even has the permits to begin.

On May 10, 2024, the Texas Commission Environmental Quality (TCEQ) granted the City of Wichita Falls a water use permit – even though a Judge had recommended that the permit be denied.
