Such thorough research reporting, as usual. I love to read the Lantern’s reporting!

The shine is coming off of Douglas County planning & Sterling Ranch when it comes to the natural resource of water.

Dominion water which is also the developer , relies heavily on other entities for water . They are not implementing any water restrictions in their community . I think they are too busy building as much as possible. The "entertainment district" along plum creek next to zebulon is in the works per sterling ranch CAB meetings. They are removing videos now to suppress and truth of their intentions ! 2/25/2026 removed . 3/5/2026 still up as of now.

I had no idea Douglas County has so many water sources. Let’s build more houses! Ugh ….

Thank you for the thought provoking article. I am very worried about water this year and in the future. And, with Douglas Counties' build...build...build mentality it is very worrisome. We only have so much water and we need to be good stewards of what we have. Now is the time to act.
