Aqua Texas Inc

And unfortunately, the Hays Trinity, they're enabling legislation doesn't allow them much leeway in enacting penalties really for, or at least for them holding true for when commercial wells over pump.

For example, in 2022, Aqua Texas over pumped their permit.

They were permitted so many gallons of water, they over pump 90 million gallons of water.

So in turn, the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District levied a fine against them, about $455,000.

Aqua Texas turned around and said, we're not paying that.

Groundwater District said, well, then we're not going to give you a permit for the following year.

Aqua Texas, in response, said, well, then we're going to sue you.

And so in the meantime, the judge said, we're going to move forward.
