I didn’t know if this could be posted here but it’s important to everyone around a 3 county area. Private investors are trying to take water from our areas and pipe it to the Austin area. Around 15 billion gallons which could affect water wells for drinking and cattle. Leon, Houston, and Anderson County commissioner courts had a meeting about this and a petition going around you can sign. I know Leon County has a way 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 your state representative also about this. Water is a mineral we all can’t afford to lose.

My husband and I each signed a petition to force a meeting with the two 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 two companies are basically one and the same—both controlled by a Dallas hedge fund manager who is commodifying 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.
