I hope someone can help or give advice. We are in process of building a house in Brock/Lipan area and our builder went to get a water meter from Coop, but was denied. Apparently they are not giving out water meters until further notice. Board had a meeting in March and passed a moratorium on new water meters.
From what I was told, engineers with coop weren't properly monitoring situation and coop was handing out water meters without checking to see if they had capability to meet demands. Well now they have new engineers who have been researching situation and have found they're at capacity and beyond, hence the moratorium on new water meters.
We've looked into drilling a well, but have found that upper Trinity is not a good source and wells in neighborhood have been pumping 0gpm. The wells in neighborhood have been using them for irrigation. To this point, everyone is on coop water system. So drilling a water well doesn't sound like an option. There's another board meeting in April and hopefully we get approved for a meter
Has anyone run into this issue or know someone who has gone through this that can advise? If we don't get the meter I have to see what we can do to get out of contract with builder. Otherwise there'll be a house with no water.
