TEXAS, HELD IN THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING OF SAID CITY ON THE 24TH
DAY OF OCTOBER, A D. 1972
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, it has been heretofore recommended that Aubrey Reser-
voir be completed and full by 1980, due to the fact
of urgent need based upon hydrological studies of the
watershed yields and the Master Plan of the water dis-
tribution and production systems which indicate that
the safe drouth yield of Garza-Little Elm Reservoir
will be completely utilized before 1975, and
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States has authorized the
Corps of Engineers to make advance studies of the
Aubrey Multi-Purpose Lake for water supply, water
quality control, recreation, and fish and wildlife,
and
WHEREAS, the Texas Water Rights Commission by Board Order dated
June 4, 1969 designated the City of Dallas, Texas, and
the City of Denton, Texas as cooperating local sponsors,
and
WHEREAS, a public hearing will be held by the Corps of Engineers
on October 27, 1972, at Denton, Texas, at which time in-
terested parties are invited and urged to express their
views and to furnish specific data on matters pertinent
to the project including technical, economic, and ecolo-
gical and environmental material, and
WHEREAS, the health and well-being of the citizens of Denton are
dependent on the furnishing of adequate supplies of
water, and
WHEREAS, North Central Texas is a water short area and in order
to provide adequate supplies of water for the City of
Denton and it is necessary to fully develop the water
production capability of the Elm Fork of the Trinity
River and to recognize that at some future date, reuse
of water and importation of water from other stream
basins will be necessary, and
WHEREAS, Aubrey Reservoir is important to Denton as the most
readily available source of future water supply
Denton's share of the yield from Garza-Little Elm Reser-
voir is enough to satisfy about 2/3 of the requirements
of the City's 40,000 residents The balance is being
obtained temporarily by purchasing part of Dallas' share
of the Garza-Little Elm yield After about 1980, Dallas
will need all of its portion of the Garza-Little Elm
yield. Aubrey Reservoir is the only reasonable prospect
for the necessary additional supply for Denton NOW,
