Aqua Texas is owned by a multi-billion-dollar company that has prioritized profits for its shareholders at our community’s expense. It’s time to hold them accountable to state and local rules and guidelines for responsible management of our water.
Now Aqua is suing the HTGCD in federal court, arguing that they should not have to comply with rules and regulations, or the limitations of their permit.
Click here for more information about the lawsuit and HTGCD's response.
HTGCD is working diligently to carry out its mission on behalf of our community and western Hays County to conserve, preserve, recharge, and prevent waste of groundwater.
In the words of Charlie Flatten, General Manager for HTGCD:
"[The District] has never threatened Aqua's or the public's access to water...As is the case with every utility (corporate or local), Aqua is required to follow the rules that they agreed to in their permit. Some of those terms include adhering to a drought contingency plan if necessary. Aqua has not shown that they adhered to that plan in 2022. [The District's] lawful mandate is to protect the aquifer for ALL users. During emergency drought conditions, we must all conserve—and Aqua did not do that in 2022 and 2023.” - (Read Full Story Here)
