Miss Chris Member Posts: 294 From: Wimberley, Texas Registered: Nov 2006	posted July 28, 2010 01:59 PM Those of us who have property valued because we have access to a flowing river just got screwed so developers can reap profits. That is a very depressing decision. IP: Logged
jerry Member Posts: 98 From: Registered: Aug 2009	posted July 28, 2010 05:59 PM Hopefully this decision will be appealed and developers shouldn't be so short sighted not to realize the Hill Country without flowing creeks and rivers will not be prime property. IP: Logged
cgm Member Posts: 379 From: Wimberley Registered: Jul 2003	posted July 28, 2010 07:06 PM One sure way to preserve our water is for the County to require that all new construction, residential & commercial, have water catchment systems. Of course, the County Commissioners might not want to put such restrictions on developers & contractors. IP: Logged
jerry Member Posts: 98 From: Registered: Aug 2009	posted July 28, 2010 09:12 PM Sounds good but there still needs to be a restriction on any new building as that water being caught would normally go into the aquifers. IP: Logged
