In November 2005, the community accepted an offer to rename itself "DISH" (all capital letters) as part of a commercial agreement with a satellite television company.[1] HistoryThe settlement was originally named for its founder, Landis Clark, who incorporated the town in June 2000 and served as its first mayor. In exchange for renaming the town to DISH, all residents received free basic television service for ten years and a free digital video recorder from Dish Network. There was no formal opposition to renaming Clark; twelve citizens attended the council meeting to support the measure.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} Air quality{{wide image|Natural gas fracking facility in DISH, Texas.jpg|600px|Natural gas facility in DISH, 2012|45%|right}}In 2005, energy companies began drilling natural gas wells at DISH. Town residents complained of foul smells, and of health issues they linked to the petroleum emissions from the wells. The town spent $15,000 on an air quality test, which found elevated levels of several chemicals including benzene. Following that, the energy companies made changes.[3] In response to concerns about the town's air quality, the Texas Department of State Health Services conducted air quality tests, and in May 2010, released its results for DISH, including tests of blood and urine samples from 28 DISH residents that were tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The agency concluded that: The information obtained from this investigation did not indicate that community-wide exposures from gas wells or compressor stations were occurring in the sample population. This conclusion was based on the pattern of VOC values found in the samples. Other sources of exposure such as cigarette smoking, the presence of disinfectant by-products in drinking water, and consumer or occupational/hobby related products could explain many of the findings.[4] The state installed an air quality monitoring station at DISH, which showed that, as of 2012, air pollutants were generally within government limits.[3] An article about the air quality in DISH by NPR in 2012 stated that "better studies are needed" to test for the health effects of drilling emissions, and also that the installation of gas wells in populated places "is way out ahead of public health evaluations of any kind to date".[3] Demographics{{US Census population|2010=201 |estyear=2016 |estimate=433 |estref=[5] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[6] }} The population in 2010 was 201, and the estimated population for 2015 was 387.[7][8] In popular cultureIn the January 10, 2006, episode of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, correspondent Ed Helms produced a news segment about DISH.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} References{{More citations needed|Crediblity|date=April 2013}}{{More footnotes|date=October 2009}}1. ^1 2 {{gnis|1926816|DISH}} {{refbegin}}2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://factfinder2.census.gov |title=Profile of General Population and Housing Characteristics: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (DP-1): DISH town, Texas |publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder |accessdate=July 2, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130911234518/http://factfinder2.census.gov/ |archivedate=September 11, 2013 |df= }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web | last = Hamilton | first = John | title = Town's Effort To Link Fracking And Illness Falls Short | publisher = NPR | date = May 16, 2012 | url = https://www.npr.org/2012/05/16/152204584/towns-effort-to-link-fracking-and-illness-falls-short}} 4. ^Texas Department of State Health Services, [[http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/epitox/consults/dish_ei_2010.pdf The Final Report: DISH, Texas Exposure Investigation]], 10 May 2010. 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/tables.2016.html|title=Population and Housing Unit Estimates|accessdate=June 9, 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|title=Census of Population and Housing|publisher=Census.gov|accessdate=June 4, 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2015/SUB-EST2015.html|title=Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Incorporated Places: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2015|accessdate=July 2, 2016}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html |title=Census of Population and Housing |publisher=Census.gov |accessdate=June 4, 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6YSasqtfX?url=http://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html |archivedate=May 12, 2015 |df= }}
