Lake History
Factoid: Jim Chapman Lake (also known as Cooper Lake) is a 19,305 acre impoundment that provides
water supply storage for the North Texas Municipal Water District, the Sulphur River
Municipal Water District, and the city of Irving. This water supply storage exists in
the conservation pool between elevations 415.5 ft msl and 440.0 ft msl. The water
intake structure is located on the South shore of the lake, which pulls anywhere from
2.0 million gallons per day of water in the winter months to 5.0 million gallons per day
in the summer months.
