Use as Drinking Water Source

edit

I removed the reference to the lake's use as a drinking water source for Dallas because it is no longer used as that. The reference is wrong. Here is a link to the City of Dallas water department which states that "Dallas' drinking water comes from five lakes: Grapevine, Lewisville, Ray Roberts, Ray Hubbard and Tawakoni."

Also see the article regarding removal as a drinking water source in 1929. http://www.whiterocklakemuseum.org/1910-1929.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crispini (talkcontribs) 17:37, 21 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
