Hundreds of residents gathered in Grey Forest, Texas earlier this month to decry plans for 2,900 homes on the outskirts of San Antonio—expected to discharge a million gallons of treated wastewater daily into the Helotes Creek watershed. Those who have studied the project said contamination could reach local water wells in less than a day after discharge. And, they warned, with San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg amplifying the point, that contamination would inevitably reach the Edwards Aquifer, which is relied upon by nearly 2 million area residents.
“There is a saying in Texas that whisky is for drinking, water’s for fighting. This is why this fight is the time for every resident of this area to get involved.”
— San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg
