Texas drought hinders water distribution to various cities Customers to experience limited water supplies FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - The devastating drought has taken its toll on a Texas Panhandle lake, now too low to keep supply- ing water to nearly adozen cities. The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority near Amarillo voted to stop usingLake Meredith, which had been a water source since the 1960s. The water authority's half- million customers are not likely to notice the effects of Wednesday's vote until next summer, said Kent Satterwhite, the authority's gen- eral manager. Although the lone remaining water supply is plen- .tiful, the peak demand may put stress on its delivery, he said. This year the lake's water, for the first time, was pumped for cit- ies' use only from June through August instead of year-round because water levels dropped to a record low - just under 31 feet, Satterwhite said. The record high level was nearly 102 feet in 1973. "Thesurface areaisonlyasmall fraction of what it used to be," Sat- terwhite said Thursday, adding that only one boat ramp remains open. "From my house, I can't see the water anymore." The U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday shows 73.1 per- cent of the state in the exceptional range, down from 87.9 percent last week. But much of the Pan- handle remains in the most severe drought stage because it did not get as much rainfall thatfell across other parts of Texas the past week. The state is in its worst single- year drought. And the rainfall probability is below normal for the state, including the Panhandle, for the next three months, said Victor Murphy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The Canadian River Munici- pal Water Authority's remaining water source is the Ogallala Aqui- fer, one of the world's largest. The authority had already been pumping water into wells from that Roberts County aquifer for its customers. Then in June, the authority bought water rights beneath 211,000 acres for $103 million from billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens and his Mesa Water Inc. The purchase involved about 4 trillion gallons of water, "enough to last us 130 years," Satterwhite said. But the 48-mile pipeline from wells in Roberts County to Amarillo and Lubbock and Lame- sa - and several cities in between - is not large enough to meet increased summer demands, he said. Buildinga bigger pipeline is too costly to be an option right now, he said. Some cities might impose water restrictions next summer to help conserve. Although Lake - Meredith is expected to continue drying up, Satterwhite said it could be used as a water source in the future. "There are so many variables, but one good storm could just change everything for us," he said. "We're hopeful, but I wouldn't say optimistic." t A seal sits in a cage during a cleaning session to get rid of fuel oil from its body in Tauranga, New Zealand, yesterday. Grounded ship poses oil spill threat New Zealand boat dumps hundreds of tons of oil into ocean TAURANGA, New Zealand (AP) - The calmest weather in days has given salvage crews hope they will be able today to resume pumping the remaining fuel from a cargo ship stuck on a New Zealand reef. The ship Rena has already spilled hundreds of tons of oil and crews are in a race against nature to try and remove the remaining fuel before waves break up the vessel, which has begun to crack apart and is leaning on a 22-degree tilt. Last week crews removed about 10 tons of oil before the weather forced them to post- pone salvage attempts. Environmentalists have warned of a disaster for wildlife if all the ship's 1,870 tons (1,700 metric tons) of oil and 220 tons (200 metric tons) of diesel is allowed to spill into the ocean. Nick Bohm, a spokesman for Maritime New Zealand which is managing the emergency response, told The Associated Press Friday that crews are "relatively positive" they can proceed with plans to board the vessel and begin pumping oil to a nearby barge. He said pump- ing should begin Friday after- noon in an operation that could last several days. Bohm said there are stronger winds forecast for the weekend which may hamper the operation. Meanwhile, several of the 88 containers that have fallen off its deck had washed ashore by Fri- day, and authorities confirmed one container that toppled over- board contained a hazardous sub- stance. However, an official said it should not pose a major threat.
