Why WAWS Is Needed

R&T Water Supply, which serves Ray, Tioga, Stanley, and Wildrose is coming off a long hot summer of water restrictions and earlier this month concluded it will wait as long as a year before allowing any new rural developers to hook up. 

Business manager Liz Suhr said three developers who want to build rural subdivisions outside Ray for up to a 1,600 population in each development will have to put their plans on hold unless they can come up with another source of water. 

The three proposed developments are the Southern Cactus Star, Dix Development, and Iron Horse-West Bank, she said. 

R& T water was so tight this summer that two large man camp developments near Tioga were shut off for a period and one of them -- a Target Logistics facility -- was just put back on the system on Friday, she said.
