This Texas Town Hasn’t Had Running Water In Its 142 Year History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Every drop of drinkable water in Sandbranch, Texas, is shipped in. The small community has never had running water in its entire 142-year existence and its groundwater is contaminated. Why do all of the towns neighboring it have water, but Sandbranch doesn’t?

Hey fam. I see a lot of you asking what contaminated the water. They tested it in the 1980s and 1990s and found bacterial contamination. There's no agreement on what caused the contamination. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching.
Good story. Thanks for exposing this stain on Dallas lawmakers. What did the Dallas city council say about this ? I feel like we need a part 2 on what Dallas lawmakers have to say on this gentrification of Sandbranch. I bet if you looked closely, you will find developers lined up to snatch the whole town up as soon as they mange to push out the last black family.
Also, lol at you refusing to taste the water, when you been to or are from Africa. You know our water in Africa, be ten times more contaminated but we use it anyway.... lol.
Where is the contamination coming from that should be addressed and gotten rid of. Then there couldn't be a problem for these people to get clean water.
@@deea6053 I agree we need a part 2 on this as to what they are actually doing , not saying what they are going to do, but have done.
Bacterial... farming probably caused it. Bacterial can be sanitized. I contacted a mobile water production company and sent them this story. I hope they do something.
They did this in Africa too!
Hmm. It's close to Dallas. I would not be surprised if a developer wants that land, and not assisting them in building a water treatment plant is strategic.
Hi. I am the person who did this story. This is a concern some residents and I discussed. Would this place have running water if a large corporation wanted to move in? To my knowledge, there's no such plan.
@@iiwrites Sounds like mineral rights is what big corp is after then develop it to make Dallas bigger into a mega city.
5 minutes to the I-20, 5 minutes to US-175 (and then immediately onto I-45). Directly on a road connecting the two. I don't even live in the US but can tell what's happening here. They're being pushed out, hard.
Probably not. This is in a part of Dallas County that is not really populated and is mostly industrial and there’s still plenty of other empty land around this community.
@@iiwrites
... Maybe not.
If someone has a redevelopment goal, keeping it secret would be financially prudent.
The irony is more of Texas has to see what it feels like now with the storm. Furthermore, this was a Freetown, it should be preserved as Cultural Heritage
Yes yes I agree
This is something they've always done They give us the worst. We make it good. They Côme take it back! Back in the Day when they finally allowed us in theaters, they would make us sit in the balcony. Now those tickets are super high priced. Why? Because now they want them. They become bullies and exercise their white privilege.
Amen!
@@karenwhite4141 The only privilege these folks have is their choice to obey the Lord Jesus and go to Heaven or disobey the Lord Jesus and go to Hell. Makes no difference what the color of a person's skin is. You'd think people would understand that by now, but they keep believing the lies of the devil. God's word says plainly in 1 Samuel 16:7. God is always looking at our hearts NOT our skin color which matters not it's our MOTIVES. Hell awaits for all who don't do God's will. Heaven awaits for all who will do God's will. The color has nothing to do with our final destination. I pray they repent before it is too late. The devil looks on the outward appearance i.e. Hollywood. Shalom!!!
Exactly .. historic .
When things don't make sense, it usually means that somebody or a corporation is making $ from it.
I just pray for strategy, wisdom, doors opened, resources and above all unity of the few remaining, along with local politicians, government, council assist them and not privately work against them! It's shocking to awake to read this article but, nothing new I believe!! I truly believe it's just not ranked as an important issue or topic!! I seen where they awarded a small amount that doesn't seem to be adequate for beginning. God exists and there is a way!!! May every area there and abroad receive a turn around. Time out for tactics to cripple and rob any people. Injustice here is an injustice to people everywhere 😇😇😇! Coronavirus Pandemic isn't allowed for nothing. Pray earnestly for a remedy to your land in Texas😇😇😇. God never fails⚓. The solution should be right there!! Filling up of delivered water into huge containers for the residents whether, below or above ground. Not having to travel for it! Of course organization and details to be worked out. 142 years unbelievable!! Knowledge is power. Knowledge applied. The fake signs need to be taken down. No flooding!! The community residents know🙂⚓😇. And, I would use the rainwater. The plants thrive off of it. Grandparents caught it faithfully in tin cans⭐.
That's America I guess🤷♀️🤷♂️
If something doesn't make money nobody will make it... no mater how many people depend on it .
I looked to see if land was for sale in this community and there's none.. hmmmm This makes me think the land is worth millions.
I did the same thing. It doesn’t even look as if it’s an actual town! But Seagoville is booming 100 ft away!!!
@@karmag4244 if someone was trying to buy this land and build what they wanted to see this town would get water in a heart beat.shame on John Wiley price shame on you.
Thank you for your important journalistic work and getting more attention on stories like these.
Thank you for taking the time to watch. I really appreciate it. Please share it.
Developers are waiting for the people to sell cheap...or even walk away and stop paying taxes. Then, they swoop in, take the land, and make $$$$$. 15 miles from Dallas?
That land is GOLD!
It’s not. They entire area is in a floodplain. That’s why the city didn’t annex it.
As an American, this makes me so damn angry!
Same
As an American and a POC, it makes me angry too
Babylon Will Fall!
The great America! Smdh! I have been embarrassed as an American the last couple of years tbh.
Suppose you don't know that on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico and parts of Az on the nation their is uranium in their waters they drink..did you know this? Did you-know that the Navajo Nation lots walk on dirt floors?
The minute the last resident dies or moves, the developers will roll in and MAGICALLY running water will appear.
That is all they are waiting on. I am an heir to family property passed down from slavery in Anderson County, Texas that is located on the Trinity River Bank. Texas prison system took a lot of the black communities land by eminent domain. Now, the doctors and lawyers are trying to buy up all that they can. They have a plan.
@@sylviaruth5008 yup and heirs property is the easiest to buy because it has so many potential sellers if the developer buys enough shares they can force a sale on the whole property
Bingo! I was just saying that to my boyfriend. Trust me when I say, "they" have their eyes on that town. They already said they were offered buy-outs and the town's people refused. So naturally they aren't going to supply them with a watering system. Why would they when they can just wait it out.
Terrell x3 Anderson County, Texas just experienced the worst freeze in my lifetime. Power grids failed due to The Big Brown plant that the government closed down in 2018 (they have a plan). That plant is directly across the river in Freestone County from my family property in Anderson County. My mother use to cross the river on a foot bridge. There was a black town there just like Sandbranch. The plant took over. Now the plant is closed and the government has slowly taken most of the land on both sides of the river. My family is one of the few original owners left.
They have a taxing district however they let the leaders use the money for other things. much of it cannot be accounted for...it is just gone...blame their own
Google map this town and it’s easy to see the lakes, rivers, streams and it’s proximity near Dallas makes it a developers dream. If anything keep the land wait 10 years and Starbucks will buy it for millions.
Exactly
Shalom Greetings! In the case that is true of how much another party is willing to invest; it seems noteworthy that it's worth is priceless for those that waited on it.
Quick Google search and you find that this community is an unincorporated community. They live off grid they are not apart of the state of texas and if they joined they would have had water 147 years ago..
Money can be printed to save the banks and corporations but helping humans is to expensive
They just waiting for the people to leave. Since the buy out offers are not working... Thank you for sharing. If enough of us share it, it will catch someone's attention.
Right!
@S R Right!
Look at who's people they are speaking of helping
S S, it is the kind of Capitalism in the USA. Just sad!
Don't kid yourself. There's a pissed off developer that feels like there should've been a gate golf course community there a decade ago.
Definitely.
Just like Hilton Head, South Carolina
and there will be one in the future. Check out my commits on how to fix the issue. The city is going to buy them out cheap, and then capitalize off the land. No matter what is put there 5,10, years down the road. It's sad. The area will miraculously not be a flood plain, and up to the highest bidders.
I think this all happened by Design
Don't sale the land Don't leave your house never give your land up,more foreigners own land than indigenous Black natives value wise renting and homeless will wreck your mind and spirit in no justice kangaroos courts
As soon as everyone leaves, the area will be “gentrified.” Sound familiar.
You Know it!!!!.
It won’t. I live not to far from that area. It’s a total dump. The town is built in a floodplain so you can never have fresh water there.
It’s floodplain. Nobody should live there. If White people lived there, the bulldozers already would have been sent in.
@@skenzyme81 LMAO! history says the exact opposite is true. in fact, history shows us that if it was a white town they'd already have safe drinking water.
now, if it was an Indigenous town, reservation, or well-off Black town....yea bull dozed. over + over + over again this has happened in history.

Did you know that a lot reservations have no running water ,no indoor plumbing?
Shocking you can see where the US priorities lie ... not there obviously 🤔
yeah there are so many native american towns in south dokata that are literally 3rd world countries with no running water, roads or infrastrature and the state and federal govt dont give a shit and would rather give more money to foreign countries
It's true, but this is a story about Black American Descendants of US Chattel Slavery, aka ADOS. It's important to keep focused on the subject being discussed.
@@DavidSmith-dl8jc these issues are intersectional, and reflect the overall neglect and disregard of minority communities. It also possible to discuss both topics at the same time

A pool of people should buy, and annex, that town just like the group did in GA where they are building a new Black Wall Street.
It's pretty much already that way
It's county land. Really doesn't need to be bought. The current residents just need to think bigger. You got thousands of small country towns full of black folks. We just gotta start taking advantage and work together
Incorperate the town.

@@MusicLovingFool1 Sounds like maybe you drank some contaminated water yourself if you can't understand what MusicLovingFool was trying to say. There's plenty of things that are contaminated or bad for your health, doesn't mean you should eat or drink it.
I can’t believe this, 142 yrs without water.
its a fake story, this means over those 142 years they have been receiving donations of water. all fake to generate more racial propaganda.

They choose to continue to live there. All other surrounding communities have water. No one is forcing them to live there.

Well, thank you so much for taking the time to watch this and I hope you're keeping safe in winter storm.
They don't want you all to hear about this. It's kept hush hush.
Right an I'm from san antone
I don't live near Texas.omg u have to get a hold of your democratic senator
Plz let him know!!! I'm crying
Have you heard of Dawson or prairie Hill or Coolidge or Mount calm. They are towns that through redistricting were Incorporated to counties like Hill county so that the Republican voters would outnumber the Democratic voters.
As someone who grew up in a small town in the state of Texas I can truly say that what is going on is big Corp or some billionaire wants this land for there own development. Seen it in my town.
God this is like right in my back yard. I live in Dallas. You never hear nothing about stuff like this.
And this is supposed to be one of the most developed countries in the world, lol what a disgraceful government.
USA is a poor country with a gucci-belt😅
I bet if developers came in they'd have water in a heartbeat.

Be.you.tifully Made really, most everyone I know have well water with nothing hooked up to it
Say it again for the people in the back 😕
You are so right about that, that's why we must stand our ground and Pray and ask God what to do and how to handle things instead of leaning on our own understanding let's do what Proverbs 3 tells us and that God will show us what is going on behind there being no water by PRAYING Luke 8:17. If we you are called by God's name would do what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, a lot of things would go better for us. Just try it. God doesn't fail and he doesn't disappoint. Shalom!!!

This reminds me of Hilton Head South Carolina, once an all black town owned town. The land was deemed swamp land and unusable until a Marriott bought property there. It's terrible how our people are done in this country.

Just drill a new well away from any livestock. There are many towns in the U.S. that don’t have city water and people depend on their own wells.

Yep, gentrification is highly possible.
Probably not. This is right by suburbs and a parts of Dallas that are mostly Black and middle-class.
Maybe Rich black folks can help out with the situation
@Demetrius Evans You know I've noticed that as well. I think all groups have people with this elitist mindset about them but black folks particularly in the USA take it one notch further.

So who is in line to purchase all of that property?
This is what usually happens before a developer comes in an takes the land for pennies instead of what for what is worth. Once it is sold, there will be no problem getting water to the town.
Not enough property tax to justify the 6.5 million they just waiting for those people to leave and develop the whole area to get more in taxes.

@Louise Walls the lady who covered the story said in her research she didn't find anything about the land having natural resources on it. She's in the comment section
@@FaithandNova they could be keeping it a secret
I want to come help set up water harvesting systems for that town. I know good-hearted plumbers too. I have next to no money but I would help if I could get a team together to install a permaculture system.
6.5 million is peanuts in the real scheme of things in a wealthy country like the U.S.
This is ridiculous...and yet Americans love to publicize how poor Mexico is and how it’s a 3rd world country...listen, I lived in Mexico in 2018 and have traveled there extensively and never have I run into a city that doesn’t have water! What the hell is wrong with the U.S. We are some kind of f’d up! 🤦🏻♀️
God can do the impossible.
I’m praying 🙏 with you !!!
$6.5 million is a lot of money, but these people need access to running water. This is unacceptable.
I'm sorry, but $6.5 million in America is NOT a lot of money, especially for a necessary resource.
I'm from New York $6.5 million only gets the paperwork completed on a project like this.
That’s not a lot of money. That’s actually about what it takes for the infrastructure.
You can put a cistern water tank in front of everyone's house and get the water trucked in, lots of people do it, doesn't cost much money, seems like an easy cheap solution, a tank only costs a few hundred, and maybe a hundred to get it topped up every month or two
$6.5 million is less than the cost of one US warhead.
Pocket change for our government!
What century are we in again? This a shame and disgrace.
This is giving me a Flint vibe.
Not even a Flint vibe, I am from Michigan . . . $400 million state and federal funds - Flint has secured a clean water source, distributed water filters and laid modern safe copper pipes to almost all of the homes determined unsafe. Water quality as good as I have or better here in Otsego. Mich. $650 million more to help 95,000 people for damages - economic, medical, and psychological reparations. And even better news our ex-governor and 8 other Michigan officials are being charged and prosecuted . . . Officials being held accountable. Flint vibe NOT . . . According to this people have no drinking water. That's not Flint, MI that's a 3rd world country lacking a person's most basic needs!!
Flint actually had running water. These people don't even have plumbing
@@jamesmanley894 Exactly, can you imagine going to your neighbor and getting your drinking the same water as his cattle? No wells, no septic . . . I hurt for these people suffering and living in abject poverty. People need to pe prosecuted for this and the "electricity nightmare" Texas is facing. Then jail time . . . Too bad the people responsible can't be forced to live like this - No, they vacation in Cancun!!
Earthship Biotecture should be contacted and they can show these people how to get water without needing city intervention. Full off grid living.
I once heard a story about a Man named Moses who had a Water Machine. This Town could sure use him.💜
Exactly! Live off grid & keep the land for eternity!
We need to call congress of that area. And get them to put a water department there
Conress has done nothing for Flint either.
Wow Texas is sounding very Florida 😲
Yet people are sitting on billions of dollars - that's greed. More than anyone needs in a lifetime. My God.
Or you're just lazy.
There are two reasons that millionaires should be taxed out the wazoo:
1. To make our country into a first world country.
2. To keep them from accumulating too much power.
@@GripItNRipIt82 Cuz if we all just work hard enough, we can be billionaires, right?
And seeing this you’d think the government would put more focus on solving nationwide issues instead of giving millions to other countries with these stimulus packages.
Which other countries??? America could not give its own citizens stimulus monies much more other countries. Please take several seats with that nonsense statement.
@@onibioh Fact: The U.S. gives Israel $10 million _per_ _day_. Israel is not some poverty stricken third world country. They have a standard of living on par with our own. And don't buy the line that they need it for their defense. They have an "iron dome" defense system that is virtually impermeable.
Ten million dollars a day would give the people of Sandbranch clean water tomorrow. It would house all 100,000 homeless families with children. It would put our entire power grid underground in about 15 years. It would give nearly 2 million Americans $2,000 stimulus checks this year.
Israel is not the only recipient of U.S. foreign aid, but it gets the lion's share.
@@fulanichild3138 Israel gets most of the aid America provides. Other than Israel and Egypt no other third world countries gets any significant aid from the US. In fact most of the aid given by America comes in the form of military aid.
@@onibioh We spent 47 billion on foreign aid in 2019. See here www.concernusa.org/story/foreign-aid-by-country/ for a breakdown of the top recipients of U.S. foreign aid. I had thought Israel topped the list, but apparently it's Afghanistan with Israel in second place.
@@onibioh if you read the stimulus bill that was passed... $10 million for “gender programs” meant to help women get education and start businesses in Pakistan. $2.5 million for “Internet freedom programs in closed societies”. $101 million to combat “the transnational threat of wildlife poaching and trafficking. $250 million over five years for Palestinian economic aid, which was pushed by New York Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey. $500 million earmarked for Israeli defense purchases, including to equip the Iron Dome missile defense system. $4 billion for New York’s MTA as part of bailouts for mass-transit systems.
$15 billion earmarked toward grant programs for live entertainment venues such as Broadway.
$7 billion toward expanding broadband access...
It is time for that community to learn how to live off grid and harvest rain water. It can be done. How this is happening. The new suburban town. Keep your property.
Yes. Build/buy rain catchment systems. I've watched so many documentaries of desolate communities doing this. Some even thought ' This is crazy. We barely get any rain'. Then right after it was completed. Bam. Lots of rain and filled to capacity. God will provide.
I know I would not have rain gutters on my house for nothing. Lol. Just enough to grow your garden.
They should have been had a rain water system in place
@@FaithandNova Facts!
It's actually illegal
Poor people: " We need water ".
Developers with new white residents: "over here we have a Starbucks... ".
White people don’t want polluted land
@@kimjones2056 umm yes they do. You must no nothing of development
Bingo!!!

The racism & hatred in your heart is shameful.
“....This is the definition of the wrong people in politics not running for the right agendas...the people, life period”!!! G-Mommie
We really need to retire the obligatory "Black and Brown" language. Everyone I saw in that town was BLACK. It is important to acknowledge that. We can't fix a problem that people are afraid to even address accurately.
I thought the same thing. No political correctness needed here
Yes.
Yeah, so that means it's a black problem not everyone elses. Next. Crying racism in everything doesn't mean you're owed anything.
@@chicanoazteca8614 troll
@@jenniferwhilby5469 nobody owes them anything.
They’re gonna drive these people out and then and build new homes on ti
They're waiting for all those people to leave, or sell their land. Then they're gonna come in and develop that entire area. The water is gonna flow then. DONT SELL THEM ONE INCH OF YOUR LAND!!!
They are being pushed out. Someone wants that land, some corporations, county.
I live in Texas just went through the winter storm last week. I’ve been complaining about boiling water. I feel horrible I have nothing to complain about. This community should not be going through this at all.
You have a right to complain & so do they.
Someone else's problems do not negate your problems. Your comment comes off as false sympathy.
The state of Texas is run by racist.
This is sad I live like 30 minutes from there and did not know This. Hope this people get water soon..
This is a tale as old as time. Force people out by not giving them basic services, buy the land for cheap and turn it into expensive houses. And if the people don’t leave burn the houses down, list the remains as uninhabitable, and voila, you have cheap land.
As a I’m proud Mexican American, this is unbelievable & shocking this is happening. No American no matter their race, color, or nationally should live in this condition. Its heartbreaking. We need to get rid of systemic racism it’s Un-American.
Hi OAM, I hear you, however systemic racism is the American way. It is the foundation of this country.
Then relocate these people to more populated areas
Systemic racism is as American as apple pie!
It’s incredibly American and somehow white ppl have argued this since, at least the enslaved were freed. Shit... they didn’t even tell all enslaved they were free until a couple years afterward. This IS America, always has been. This is the American way, 100%.
@@bea2790 In all countries, their founded by systemic racism not just in America also in Latin America, Africa, Oceania & most countries. Thank the European colonizers for that.
Praise GOD ALMIGHTY the little town never got flooded.
Are they trying to get them out of this area to build upon it? Like for corporations to use that land? I think it's worth looking into if there are wealthy people trying to cultivate that land and that's why it's been neglected like this.
Jobs for those who lost them on the oil pipeline, lay clean water pipes
Instead of putting comment on the Internet, you should call lawmakers.
Billy Ouka, that's a great suggestion!
Great
Smart
We all know who cost those jobs: Our current illegitimate president.
Ppl like to try to make us forget that we weren’t even considered citizens 60 years ago
I'm so early the republican and qanon conspiracists' haven't arrived yet .
@@personaldanceparty5518 i mean, that's literally what they are. This was a joke though, so idrc what you think in this matter
The fact that I live in Dallas all my life I have never heard of sand branch it’s crazy but they are right around the corner of seagoville they have running water it’s crazy
Thank you for taking the time to watch this piece.
Ikr? I lived all over Dallas for 30 years and I've never ever heard of this town 😩 I pray they're doing okay during this winter storm
Can we do a GoFundMe to hire a private contractor to bring water in from Dallas area?
Bless that sister who wakes up every morning to take care of her people..bless those who help as well
There is technology to harvest water from the air!! This community get hooked up onto that and never have to pay water bill or continue to spend a fortune on bottled water!
🙏🏼🦋💙dear holy father...end the corruption on this earth shine the light of equality of justice!!! Karmic justice will be served dear archangels hear this prayer The TIME IS DIVINE. The TIME IS NOW. .....this is a civil rights issue Where is the justice?
For anyone saying that Ados don't deserve reparations take a look at this video because nine times out of 10 this is what the majority of us go through every day.
i live 10 miles from sand branch and i have never heard about town.
Oh wow. That's really close. I'm glad you took the time to watch this. I appreciate it.
And thats part of the way the "man" wants to keep it. They dont want more pple knowing and asking questions, forcing the citys hand and exposing the corruption and gentrification plans of Dallas lawmakers who want to see this land in the hands of some white oil tycoon in TX who's gonna develop it and pay the taxes to Dallas- Then and only then, will you hear about the newly built beautiful bedroom community advertising for one and all to move on in, water and sewer ready and new, equipped with a strip mall, a Starbucks, a new school and lush green park for ur pups to play and poop in. Then and only then will the "flood zone" designation mysteriously disappear.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT RACE AND POVERTY. Same story replicated across the south. There's black only rural communities in Mississippi, Alabama with no running water and out houses- still to this day! IN AMERICA. But those are poor states, Texas aint, and Dallas can afford to install city water in Sandbranch even at 6.5 million. Ive seen the roads built in Texas and Dallas to be precise, I know they can spare 6 mill for a water and sewer system, if they so inclined.
Reservations also still have no running water and electricity, no broadband either. But then again, the laws don't regard reservations as American land that need to be developed. Sad but true.
I wonder who they been voting for all this time...
I wonder if they've had the opportunity to vote.
I knew something was once they told the history of the town.....Whether its Tulsa, Rosewood or Sandbranch, they do not want us to thrive...on our own....
They sure don't want us to thrive on our own. But we have to take our minds off of them and focus on God Almighty who loves us and does want us to prosper as it says in Proverbs 10:22. Remember Ephesians 6: 10-19. We don't wrestle against flesh and blood ONLY, our battle is a spiritual one , that's why we need Christ Jesus in us the hope of glory. We want to prosper in all areas of our lives not just financially, but in our marriages, families, health, businesses, joy, peace, everything. Jesus wants us to lean on him i.e. Proverbs 3:1-35. God Almighty has to be included in every aspect of life. Shalom
The same thing is happening on the reservations of Native Americans. Hauling water is a way of life for far too many US citizens.
I would live there just to be near good folks like thesefolks!!! May the lord protect and bless you all!!!
