CAPCO opposes Trans-Texas Water Plan resolution passed
CAPCO Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution opposing the Trans-Texas Water Program. A May 1 draft from the Texas Water Development Board envisions a 50 year plan for future water needs in southeast south central and west central Texas. The program is a cooperative effort among four state agencies three regional river authorities and several interlocal participants including Guadalupe Blanco River Authority and Lower Colorado River Authority. The U S Army Corps of Engineers and U S Bureau of Reclamation are non voting federal participants. The CAPCO resolution records opposition by the regional council of governments. The Highland Lakes Group and Travis and Williamson Counties Alliance of Cities helped present the issue. County Judge Martin McLean moved to adopt. Mayor Charlie Culpepper of Round Rock urged lawmakers face constituents’ opposition to distant metropolitan water control. See CAPCO, page 5.
