Water? Water is Cheap ....

We attended the 6th annual Lone Star Water Forum, Saturday, October 4, 2014 in Brenham, Texas. The next several blog posts will be reporting about the information we heard at this event. Several eye opening points were made by political speakers currently in office here in Texas. When the dots from the speaking points they were making are connected, they paint a precarious picture for inexpensive water resources for the future of Texas. 

We are going to start with a speaker that came later in the conference, but in our humble opinion was the best speaker of the day. He also has a good point of reference on our local water resources and issues since he was a former mayor of Houston. He talked candidly and openly about our water issues here in Texas and made several valid points for consideration. 

Water Restrictions are Only the Beginning

It is summer in Texas and as the heat goes up, so does the water bills and electric bills. It is a struggle to have a halfway decent looking lawn and that is only going to get harder and harder as water becomes more scarce. The issues facing the Woodlands as shown below in this story affect the entire state with some counties still in drought conditions from last year.
