HTGCD to hold a contested case hearing on the application of Wimberley Springs
Partners to pump millions of gallons of groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer in
the vicinity
of Jacob's Well for a golf course development. The WVWA encourages the public and concerned citizens to attend the hearing. on June 19 at
9:30 a.m.at the Hays County
Judge Dwight L. Peschel from Guadalupe County has previously
ruled that the District’s refusal to grant a contested case hearing was
arbitrary and capricious and a denial of procedural due process. The
hearing/trial next Wednesday will determine whether Judge Peschel’s prior
ruling will be incorporated in a final judgment in the case.
