A long-awaited Texas Supreme Court decision has cleared the way for Dripping Springs to move forward with its wastewater treatment plan, Mayor Bill Foulds Jr. announced this week at the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the city of Dripping Springs, in a dispute over wastewater permitting, affirming TCEQ’s authority to evaluate permit applications based on their overall environmental impact. The ruling ended a 12- year battle over the permit.
“This is a great day,” Foulds said to those attending. “We’re excited. I never thought I’d get choked up over talking about wastewater.”
