One of the water issues I found that is effecting North Texas is the Exide Lead Plant in Frisco's pollution to the lakes. Exide Lead is polluting North Texas water supply and contaminating fish in Elm Fork and East Forks of the Trinity Lakes. This includes Lakes Ray Roberts and Lewisville on the Elm Fork plus Lakes Lavon and Ray Hubbard on the East Fork. This is really bad considering that the fish may be contaminated with lead and if people fish from these lakes and eat their contaminated catch, it causes a huge problem for pregnant women and children and could harm them. There isn't exaclty much we can do, other than to make more regulations on this plant and be more cautious of what we eat from these lakes- fish wise.
