PETITION
"SAY NO TO AQUA TEXAS"
To Mayor McCullough, Wimberley City Council members and the Mayor's Ad Hoc Wastewater Committee:
Aqua Texas is bad business for Wimberley, the Wimberley Valley and our valuable water resources.
I strongly urge you to "Say No to Aqua Texas". This company should not be given the management and control of our wastewater.
- At any price, Aqua Texas is a bad business partner for the City of Wimberley with its "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau, and its known history of sewage spills and rate hikes.
- The city's engineers have consistently shown the Aqua Texas option to be more costly and environmentally less desirable, coupled with a loss of a valuable reused water resource needed for Blue Hole Regional Park.
- Type 1 wastewater is a valuable resource that should be used in Wimberley for the benefit of the community, helping reduce depletion of our aquifer.
- City Council has before it an approved plan that is the result of years of hard work and research by dedicated and civic-minded volunteers. Contracting with Aqua Texas in any major way could jeopardize the state-approved low-interest loan ($5.5 million) for construction of the system, and the application to the EDA for a $1 million grant could be lost if the city changes the approved plan.
I SAY NO! TO AQUA TEXAS AND YES! TO THE ALREADY APPROVED WIMBERLEY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLAN.
