Many angry landowners have contacted us about a plan that, contrary to good
public policy, will negatively impact property rights of rural Texans from
Roberts to Jack County.

The brand-new Roberts County Fresh Water Supply District No. 1, acting as an
alter ego of businessman T. Boone Pickens and Mesa Power Pampa, LLC, has
launched a private venture that may force landowners in 11 counties to submit to
the power of eminent domain so they can pump water from the shrinking Ogallala
Aquifer and sell wind-generated electricity.
