New Day for Austin Water ~ Yoga ~ Full Moon Screening

New Day for Austin Water; Yoga; Full Moon Screening at Barton Springs

This week the Austin Water Resources Planning Task Force released their final report to City Council recommending a new course for Austin's water future. The Task Force's 21-page report is a must read for anyone interested in water issues.

The Austin City Council created the Task Force in March, spurred by ongoing drought, a changing climate, and continued mismanagement of the Water Utility and it's ill-advised head-long rush to build Water Treatment Plant No. 4 (aka the Billion Dollar Mistake on the Lake).

  

The Task Force was led by Sharlene Leurig, water expert for Ceres, and former LCRA General Manager Tom Mason, along with Dr. Lauren Ross, environmental engineer; Jennifer Walker of the Lone Star Sierra Club; Austin water and energy activist Paul Robbins; attorney Marisa Perales; Environment Texas Director Luke Metzger and others. Collectively, Task Force members represented many decades of technical, policy, and legal experience in water resource management.   The City (and all of us) is extremely fortunate to have the benefit of the Task Force's work.
