Water trucked to Texas town where wells ran dry Jan 30 05:57 PM US/Eastern AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A Central Texas village that's the first community to run out of water due to the ongoing drought will have water trucked in by the Lower Colorado River Authority. Agency spokeswoman Clara Tuma says the region's wells are no longer producing enough water to meet Spicewood Beach's needs. The first tanker was expected to arrive Monday afternoon. The village located on Lake Travis has about 500 water connections that serve roughly 1,100 people. Spicewood Beach has watched the water level drop since October 2010, when the worst single-year drought in Texas began. Tuma said the river authority, which operates the wells, will truck water to the community for as long as it is needed. She did not have an estimate of what the operation will cost.
