The case for rejecting a proposed municipal utility district for Guajolote Ranch

By Annalisa Peace, For the Express-News

For the past three years, The Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance has partnered with the city of Grey Forest and the Scenic Loop/Helotes Creek Alliance to oppose a wastewater permit to serve a development of 2,900 new homes by Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction at Guajolote Ranch, which is within the environmentally fragile Helotes Creek watershed.

We request that the San Antonio Planning Commission, mayor and City Council deny the application for a MUD for Guajolote Ranch for a variety of reasons, which are detailed in the full article on SA Express News. Notably, it is our experience that the terms of negotiated settlement agreements are not scrupulously observed by Lennar. We further assert there are plenty of sites in San Antonio where affordable housing could be built without threatening San Antonio’s groundwater supplies.

San Antonio is blessed with one of the most prolific karst aquifers in the world. Yet the city has allowed incremental degradation of the Edwards Aquifer by regularly allowing high-density development in the Edwards Aquifer recharge and contributing zones.  Should the Edwards eventually fail to meet water quality standards, SAWS would have to spend billions of customers’ dollars to pretreat water that currently does not require pretreatment for distribution.

We urge our elected and appointed representatives to take protection of our groundwater resources seriously by denying Guajolote Ranch’s request for a MUD.
