If HB 1982 passes into law, the voters of Montgomery County will finally have the voice that is needed in electing accountable representatives to serve on the Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District Board of Directors. SB 2250 is expected to have a hearing in the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Water, and Rural Affairs on Monday, Creighton said in a statement to The Courier. Public support for this change has been strong I am listening to my constituents especially in their wish to have a stranger voice in the governance of water decisions. According to the district’s website it works both sides of what it terms a “tricky” application to ensure that the amount of groundwater that is pumped does not exceed the amount of water that is replenished.
