On June 16, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) celebrated the groundbreaking of Lake Ralph Hall, North Texas’ newest lake and one of the first built in Texas in decades. Named after the late longtime U.S. Congressman Ralph M. Hall, the reservoir will be located on the North Sulphur River in southeast Fannin County, just north of the city of Ladonia.
UTRWD serves approximately 325,000 residents. The area’s population is expected to increase nearly fivefold over the next 50 years.
