It didn't take long for the shift in power on the Flower Mound Town Council to be felt.
On Saturday, residents elected a trio of candidates who called for a complete review of the town's natural gas drilling regulations.

At 7:30 a.m. Monday, Town Manager Harlan Jefferson placed an administrative moratorium on permits for centralized wastewater collection, gas lift and compression facilities. The moratorium also includes pipelines related to those gas operations.

An hour later, Williams Production – the largest gas developer in town – inquired about submitting an application for an additional facility. The company was told that no applications would be accepted due to the moratorium.
