Opinion on Cibolo Reservoir and regional water planning

Darrell T. Brownlow a member of the South Central Texas Regional Water Planning Group argues against forced land condemnation for a proposed Cibolo Reservoir. He notes regional options exceed 57 to meet 50 year municipal demand, questions benefits to Wilson County, and raises concerns about funding, public input, and interlocal agreements with SAWS, SARA, and Evergreen UWCD.

Cibolo Reservoir: Net Positive for Wilson County Says Ewald Koepp

LaVernia businessman Ewald Koepp Jr. argues the Cibolo Reservoir would bring jobs, new homes, and increased sales and ad valorem taxes, while acknowledging loss of 17 000 acres of farm and ranch land. He cites WCAD figures showing potential gains from 15 23 new homes and notes offset by land taken from tax rolls. He warns against non contact lake design and urges local leadership to secure favorable terms for landowners.
