Over the weekend, state Sen. Roland Gutierrez joined the growing number of politicians and residents opposing a Hill Country wastewater plant.
held by the TCEQ on May 9 in San Antonio regarding the permit application, and roughly 40 of them submitted formal comments opposing the project.
In his letter, Gutierrez stated the project is “a threat to public health, safety, and the welfare of my constituents and all those who depend on the Edwards Aquifer.” “Once these aquifers become contaminated, given the number of people on private wells, impractical and costly water purification treatment would be required before the water would be safe to consume,” he said. “It would render recreational use of the local waterways unusable.”These types of disputes over protecting water resources against encroaching development are becoming more common in the booming Hill Country as residents push to live in the scenic area.
Another press release issued Monday noted an upcoming public meeting taking place this week on a TCEQ permit application filed in September by a Comal County landowner to potentially dump 600,000 gallons of treated sewage a day into a creek that feeds into the Comal River.
