Why does Mesa want to sell its water far from the Panhandle?
Growth projections for North Central Texas and San Antonio demonstrate a very real need for water before the end of the current decade. The Panhandle does not have growth projections to consume the water. As part of Texas Senate Bill One passed in 1997, transferring water from one region of the state to another is authorized and recognized as an appropriate strategy for ensuring that all Texans have an adequate supply of water.
