Is Denton's runoff really a pollution concern?

Yes. All of the runoff that occurs in Denton flows into Lake Lewisville, which is our primary source of water and that of many Metroplex cities. We are located in the Trinity River Watershed, which includes 17,965 square miles, or approximately six percent of the state's landmass. The Trinity River serves as a primary water supply to more than 5 million people in the upper basin centered around the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.
