Summer rains have been good for Texas Panhandle crops, landscapes and Lake Meredith. Last month’s rainfall added about 4 feet to the lake’s water level, according to the Amarillo Globe-News.
It’s currently at 57 feet—a level not seen since 2007.
“We’re not used to normal inflow,” said Canadian River Municipal Water Authority General Manager Kent Satterwhite.
And the water quality is continually improving.
“As water quality improves with fewer dissolved solids (including chlorides or salt), the more lake water we can blend in,” he said.
