H.R. No. 1744

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The Central Texas Highland Lakes are irreplaceable natural resources that supply drinking water to area residents and serve as an important economic engine in the Lone Star State; and

WHEREAS, Formed in 2011, the Central Texas Water Coalition (CTWC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that brings together concerned individuals and groups to constructively address the water issues of these lakes and the rest of the lower Colorado River basin; the coalition strives to protect water supplies and water levels in Central Texas for the benefit of economic development and human health and safety; and

WHEREAS, The CTWC now boasts a membership of more than 3,000 Texans from the business community, local government, property owner associations, and environmental interest groups; these outstanding volunteers spend countless hours attending meetings, doing research, participating in outreach programs, and advocating for water policies; and

WHEREAS, Water management and conservation are even more important during these times of extreme drought, and the members of the Central Texas Water Coalition are indeed deserving of recognition for their dedicated efforts in preserving the Highland Lakes; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas Legislature hereby honor the Central Texas Water Coalition and commend its members for their commitment to this important cause; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the CTWC as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
