TOLEDO BEND — Another entity has its eye on waters that flow through Toledo Bend Reservoir. This time, it's another river authority in southeast Texas that wants a standby water supply for use during drought or abnormal conditions in the Neches Basin.

The Lower Neches Valley Authority has written a letter to the Sabine River Authority of Texas requesting a regional water supply partnership that could result in the diversion of up to 200,000 acre-feet from the Sabine River.

"We're just looking at the feasibility of it now," SRA-Texas spokeswoman Ann Galassi said Friday.
