Lake Meredith

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lake Meredith is a reservoir formed by Sanford Dam on the Canadian River at Sanford, Texas. It is located about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Amarillo, Texas in the Texas Panhandle. It is a major source of drinking water for Amarillo and Lubbock, Texas, located about 150 miles (240 km) to the south along with many other towns in between and nearby. In 2003, the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority announced that it would reduce allocations to its member cities due to an ongoing drought and a continued drop in the water level in the reservoir. As of 2008, the lake continues to hit record lows and the majority of water supplied by CRMWA is now coming from wells in Roberts County.
