Protect Onion Creek from sewage effluent

All we ever hear from Dripping Springs is that its intentions are not to discharge sewage effluent into Onion Creek with the discharge permit they seek. I’m sure they are telling you the same thing, that you should resolve to support this because “with all this beneficial reuse we’re getting signed up we don’t intend to discharge, we just need the flexibility of a disposal/discharge pipe to Onion Creek..” 

Understand the facts before taking the bait!

The ordinance passed last November says participate or pay fee towards 210 beneficial reuse; if the City does not use those funds for wet weather contingencies (subsurface drip irrigation and storage ponds), then that just means more sewage effluent pumped into the creek during those times.
