Dear Editor,
    Dripping Springs' mayor says he doesn't want to put treated sewage into Onion Creek – but still seeks permission to dump nearly a million gallons a day directly into the creek!! ["Is Your Water Running … Pink?” News, Feb. 2.]
    The dye test – conducted by scientists affiliated with two groundwater districts, a university research center and City of Austin – showed how any effluent released into Onion Creek can affect nearby wells. Onion Creek also provides more than a third of the recharge for Barton Springs.
    NoDrippingSewage.org seeks a ban on direct discharge to streams on the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. Please visit our website for more on this problem and its solutions.
    We remind the mayor of Dripping Springs, our governing officials, and all those that cherish clean Hill Country water: We can do better, we must do better, we will do better. Be part of the solution! #NoDrippingSewage!

Dear Editor,
    Regarding "The State of Austin Wine" [Food, Jan. 19], I couldn't be more thrilled that Austin has a rapidly developing taste for wine, because I like to drink wine. It means restaurants are hiring experts (like the fine people featured in your newspaper) to populate menus with delicious drinks. On the other hand, I'm less thrilled about the highly stylized, conceptual theme-park experiences popular in Austin restaurants. Maybe some people go to restaurants to admire the design elements … but I go there to eat and drink. I don't give two figs about the Pantone color of the year or whether my drink jibes with the decor. Give me a restaurant with delicious food at a good value, an excellently curated wine and beer list, and I'll be happy.
