The Mayor read both the petition requesting annexation of 85 acres into MUD #1 and the proposed ordinance. During the discussion that followed, Mr. Carroll Huntress and Mr. Albert Huddleston from the Circle T Ranch, several Aldermen and the Mayor expressed great concern regarding the lowering of the Puluxy water table caused by Trophy Club continuing to use the Puluxy wells instead of their Ft. Worth water. Puluxy wells are the Town of Westlake's only source of water at this time. The Board explored the possibility of annexing only the 44.759 acre "Triangle Tract" into the Trophy Club MUD at this time. IBM representatives said this would be satisfactory to them since there is an immediate need for water at the "Triangle Tract" and no immediate need for water at the other four tracts situated on the west end of IBM property.
