Supreme Court to Hear Water District Creation Case
The Texas Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to the South Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 4, with oral arguments set for June 19. Opponents from Seminole and Seagraves contend the district’s boundaries and maintenance tax were misapplied after a voter rejection. The case revisits whether the district can be formed and taxed, and whether boundaries align with defined water reservoirs.
