It’s not just Medina Lake drying up. The drought is getting more dire as residents’ wells are, too.
“With the lake being down, this is a huge loss for the community,” Cahill said. “Not everyone can afford these new expenses, so then what will happen? It’s a bad situation.”For years, residents around Medina Lake have complained about the extreme variations in lake levels and have accused lake management of letting the water run dry.
Save Medina Lake contends that in order to deliver 6,000 acre-feet, the BMA released 24,000 acre-feet to compensate for water lost — such as through evaporation or seepage — while it’s transported through dirt canals. In October, the BMA board unanimously took action to stop all water sales until further notice for the 2023 watering season.
