In sharp contrast, Lubbock’s only reservoir, Lake Alan Henry, is about 60 percent full. </p> <p>No one would have imagined just two months ago the lake would begin to bounce back so soon.</p> <p>Wednesday’s vote came after rains swelled the lake by more than 7 feet in the past six weeks.</p> <p>“Surface water is supposed to be renewable and when it does renew, we’d like to use it,” Aubrey Spear, director of Lubbock’s water utilities, said following the vote. </p> <p>“We’d rather use surface water than groundwater.”</p> <p>The reason surface water is preferable is because it recharges more readily than groundwater, which in this region the Ogallala Aquifer is being quickly depleted.</p> <p>Discussion before the vote centered on the blending necessary to make the water safe to drink and whether smaller cities could handle adding the lake water to their supply.</p> <p>Almost all said they could.</p> <p>“Any gallon not pumped out of the well field is a gallon we’ve still got,” said Jim Collins, a CRMWA board member representing Lubbock. </p> <p>Collins made the motion to begin pumping.</p> <p>Not all cities, though, intend to use the extra surface water.</p> <p>Borger City Manager Eddie E. Edwards said during the meeting the higher chloride levels with the lake being as low as it is would require treating the city isn’t prepared to do.</p> <p>“We’re looking to divert all of the water to industry, if they want it,” Edwards said. “If not, we won’t take it.”</p> <p>Going into the meeting, the outcome was all but uncertain. </p> <p>Kent Satterwhite, the authority’s general manager, did not make a board recommendation and, of the polled cities who responded before the meeting, none favored turning on the pump.</p> <p>“It was a close call,” Collins said. “The board for years has gone with, ‘If it’s a close call, go in favor of conserving groundwater.’” </p> <p>The authority during the peak summer months will pump about 10 million gallons a day to be shared among the 11 member cities.</p> <p>To put that amount into perspective, Lubbock alone uses about 35 million gallons a day, 57 million a day during the summer.</p> <p>Lubbock’s portion of the daily 10 million gallons will be roughly 4 million gallons. </p> <p></p> <p>Follow Nicole Brambila on Twitter <br/>@nbrambila. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="blog-tags"> <span>TAGS: <ul class="links inline"><li class="taxonomy_term_12 first"><a href="/web/20150714125723/http://lubbockonline.com/local-news" rel="tag" title="">Local News</a></li> <li class="taxonomy_term_342960 last"><a href="/web/20150714125723/http://lubbockonline.com/authors/nicole-brambila" rel="tag" title="">NICOLE BRAMBILA</a></li> </ul></span> </div> <div class="wl-footer-story-commands"> <div class="wl-story-commands"> <ul class="wl-story-commands"> <li class="wl-utility-item-0"><a href="/web/20150714125723/http://lubbockonline.com/user/login?destination=node%2F181119"><b>Comment</b></a></li> <!-- AddThis API--> <script> var addthis_config = addthis_config || {};
