In Austin action baffles some members led by Reps James Nugent and Bill Clayton who sought amendments to kill the measure. The House defeated the amendments, engrossed House Bill 690, and voted 137 to 0 to concur with Senate amendments.

San Antonio Mulls Mitchell Lake Sewage Plan Changes
City officials argued a revised Mitchell Lake bill would force disposal of the lake as an oxidation pond and require costly sewage treatment upgrades. They praised a watered-down measure as a stopgap while promising odor abatement and potential access to federal and state funds for a first class facility. If the lake is deemed a nuisance, an abatement order could be issued with fines up to $1,000 daily for noncompliance.
