Lake levels fluctuate despite rainfall
Despite sporadic rainfall in the last two months, Montague County’s major lakes are not gaining any real water.
With just a few days left in January, Lake Amon G. Carter is 83.3% full at 917.70 mean sea level and Lake Nocona is at 67.4% or 821.83msl.
Nocona moved into stage three of its drought contingency plan on Dec. 13, 2023 after being at stage two since late August. The last time the community was at stage three was in 2012. At stage three restrictions allow watering on Sunday and Thursday for even addresses and Wednesday and Saturday for odd addresses. No watering is allowed from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
