Harlingen residents concerned over dry resaca
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Residents of the Treasure Hills neighborhood in Harlingen are alarmed by the nearly dried-up resaca behind their homes, which has transformed from a water body to cracked earth. Homeowner Susie Mahaffey noticed the water levels dropping about a week and a half ago, raising concerns about local wildlife, including birds and turtles. Another resident, Jenny Mowers, recalled that just days ago, the resaca was filled with water and home to numerous shorebirds. Both women have contacted local agencies for answers, but the Cameron County Irrigation District clarified that the resaca is intended for drainage, not permanent water retention, raising worries about property values and home foundations.
