Public Hearing Related to Vista Ridge

Your attendance, especially if you live in Burleson or Milam County, is needed at this public hearing related to Vista Ridge. This is especially true for well owners -- you can be recognized as an "affected" party at this meeting.

Folks in Lee County are also likely affected and even some in Bastrop County! The Vista Ridge mega-permit of 50,000 acre-feet spells for well drawdowns that far, folks. Who will pay to lower your well as a result of the pumping. No one, that's who.

However, know that to contest a permit, you must file papers before September 26th. That's how the rules work at Post Oak Savannah but there's no rule that doesn't say you cannot lodge a complaint.

The Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District is the district that permitted the controversial Vista Ridge water pipeline -- aka 'the San Antone Hose'.

Vista Ridge was permitted by the Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Districne Hose'.

They are holding a hearing on October 3 to amend some of the existing permits for Vista Ridge for an additional nearly 5,000 acre-feet. Why? We have no clue...yet.
