Protecting Texas Water
From Corporate Over-Pumping.
Across Texas, corporate water interests, including investor-owned utilities, data centers, and water speculators, are draining our aquifers faster than they can recharge, overcharging the families who depend on them, and ignoring the local groundwater districts and state drought rules meant to protect us all.
When communities try to hold them accountable, they answer with lawsuits in federal court instead of stewardship at home.
This is our water. This is our Texas.
Who Is Aqua Texas and What Are They Doing?
Aqua Texas is a private, for-profit water utility operating in the Wimberley Valley area of Hays County. Unlike municipal water systems accountable to local voters, Aqua Texas answers to shareholders, and has been accused of pumping far more groundwater than the Trinity Aquifer can sustainably replenish.
The Trinity Aquifer is the lifeblood of the Texas Hill Country. It feeds the springs, creeks, and rivers that communities, wildlife, and ecosystems depend on. When a private company draws it down faster than rain can recharge it, the damage is permanent.
State regulators have been slow to act. Local residents, environmental groups, and water advocates are demanding accountability, and that's what this campaign is about.
The Trinity Aquifer recharges slowly. Over-pumping by Aqua Texas is drawing water out faster than nature can replenish it, threatening the long-term supply for the entire region.
Aqua Texas operates as a regulated utility but prioritizes growth and profit over sustainable water management, leaving communities to bear the long-term cost.
Homeowners, ranchers, and small businesses in the Wimberley Valley face reduced water pressure, dry wells, and an uncertain water future.
The Heart of the
Hill Country Is at Stake.
The Wimberley Valley is one of the most ecologically sensitive and beloved regions in Texas. The Blanco River, Cypress Creek, and Jacob's Well, a perennial spring that has flowed for thousands of years, are all fed by the same Trinity Aquifer that Aqua Texas is drawing down.
Jacob's Well has already experienced periods of reduced flow. The Blanco River has seen record-low levels. Cypress Creek, which runs through the heart of Wimberley, is increasingly threatened during dry seasons.
These aren't just scenic landmarks, they are the ecological foundation of the region, supporting wildlife, recreation, tourism, and the quality of life that makes the Texas Hill Country irreplaceable.
