As water levels fall at Medina Lake, nearby wells are also drying up. Now, David Cahill is delivering 1,000 gallons of water at a time, in tanks towed behind his truck, to neighbors in similar situations.
Cahill says that as water levels fall at, nearby wells are also drying up. Now, he’s delivering 1,000 gallons of water at a time, in tanks towed behind his truck, to neighbors in similar situations.
Cahill, said he charges about $125 to $150 per trip for people in the lake area, and more for others farther away, but he tries to keep the charges low. “I don’t like people hurting. And so I want to help them if I can. If I didn’t have -- if I had all the money I needed, I’d be delivering water to people for free,” he said.. Waterfront homes towered over the receding water line, and the dried lake bed stretching out behind Cahill’s home appeared more akin to a sandbox.
Doug Schnoeblen, the South Texas Branch chief for U.S. Geological Survey’s Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center, told KSAT that they don’t have data to show a direct cause-and-effect at this point.
