Water from Lake Olney can be used if or when there was no longer enough water in Lake Cooper, but water from Lake Olney contains more silt, making it more expensive and difficult to treat. Olney still gets water from Lake Kickapoo, just as Wichita Falls does. Wichita Falls was at stage 4 drought restrictions because its primary water supplies fell to less than 30 percent of capacity.
