Moody Center
Under Attack
RECEIVED Wed., April 22, 2015
Dear Editor,
As the Hays County water wars ["Hays County Water War," News, April 3] continue, my 25-year certified Organic farm is under attack from the possible development of rerouting Hwy. 150 within 100 feet of my farm. The massive amounts of vehicle emissions will pollute my soil, edible crops, and my rainwater collection system. Having just won the 2015 Blue Legacy Award Producer for Water Conservation for all my years of promoting water conservation, I am proud of the fact that I, as a local grower, have never pumped any aquifer water for production.
With the development of this road, as we all know, it will only lead to more massive pumping of the aquifer which is unsustainable at present rates now for future speculative developments.
