Legislation that could require large cities to wholesale water and wastewater to smaller municipalities, which could unlock a 500-plus acre development near the City of Hays, was voted out of committee last month.

HB 2959 was voted out of the House Natural Resources Committee by a unanimous 10-0 vote April 27.
