Eminent domain, the Trinity River Vision project and a lawsuit to acquire water from Oklahoma are shaping up to be the top issues for the candidates running for two open seats on the Tarrant Regional Water District Board of Directors.

In working on the Trinity River Vision, the Tarrant Regional Water District Board has taken its focus away from its core mission to focus on flood control and water supply, Basham said.
