Don't forget to bring your water to the June Meeting or make a donation on the website!
When: June Meeting and until you are tired of donating or they receive running water!
Sandbranch, the small, unincorporated corner of Dallas County without drinkable water. Over the decades, the community has dwindled to less than 100 people scattered across nine blocks. But they have acclimated to the lack of resources — like a running faucet or trash pick-up — even though downtown Dallas is just 18 miles away. The last major move the local government made in Sandbranch was about a decade ago when 36 families living in a flood zone were relocated. (Adapted from http://keranews.org)
