Harlingen residents concerned over dry resaca
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Residents in Harlingen's Treasure Hills neighborhood are worried as the resaca behind their homes has nearly dried up, transforming from a water-filled area 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 about 18 inches deep and teeming with shorebirds. Both women have reached out to various agencies for answers. The Cameron County Irrigation District No. 2 stated that the resaca is intended for drainage, not permanent water retention, raising concerns about property values and home enjoyment.
