I didn’t know if this could be posted here but it’s important to everyone around a 3 county area. A private investors are trying to take water from our areas and pipe it to the Austin area. Around 15 billion gallons which could effect water wells for drinking and cattle. Leon, Houston, and Anderson county commissioner courts had and meeting about this and petition going around you can sign. I know Leon county has away you can sign it online. From what I heard they plan on pulling 150 feet from the Wilcox aquifer yearly. Our area is growing with people moving in already and with them pulling this much water it will sure put a bind on water resources across the area. Contact you state representative also about this. Water is a mineral we all can’t afford to lose.

Here’s the form you can fill out.
My husband and I each signed a petition to force a meeting with the 2 GWCDs involved; even though we live in Leon County, our well is located in the C/W aquifer, so the installation of these 30 industrial wells is of great concern to us. These 2 companies are basically one in the same-both controlled by a Dallas hedge fund manager who is comodifying this water by selling it to Dallas area developers. Loss of ag land is happening every day; what’s left will be worthless without water.
Here’s more information about this.
