The Palo Pinto Municipal Water District No. 1 will meet to choose one of two options for bolstering Mineral Wells' water supply at their upcoming Dec. 5 meeting. They will either construct a line to Lake Mineral Wells or rent reverse osmosis equipment to draw more water from the Brazos River. Having little drinking water is stressful for the community.
“I’m just as worried as I can be,” said Mineral Wells Mayor Mike Allen. “You see rain and it makes you feel good. But when you don’t see anything happening in our lake, you realize it’s just not enough. We need a whole lot more.”
