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 |

|
|
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 important for |
|
|
the future safety of our water supplies, and the members of the |
|
|
Central Texas Water Coalition are indeed deserving of recognition |
|
|

|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
