Accusations of creek pollution caused by construction of a controversial Driftwood wedding venue is generating concerns from residents who worry the issue could negatively affect the Edwards Aquifer.

The Driftwood-area Mark Black Wedding Venue, located on Crystal Hills Drive in Dripping Springs’ extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), was cited in February 2019 for three environmental violations, which have since been addressed by the owner. The venue is owned by Mark and Michael Black. 

But three months later, nearby residents are still seeing potential environmental violations near the construction site.
