Grant Awarded!!!The Regional Water Panning Grant that was submitted to the Texas Water Development Board in December of last year has been awarded to the signors of the Memorandum of Understanding, agreeing to work together in addressing the region’s water needs. The $69,400 grant will fund preliminary studies into various means to increase water resources in the Hill Country. The two obvious methods, water retention reservoirs & aquifer storage and recovery facilities would offer considerable flood protection to Comfort, especially if they were built with that intended purpose. A third option under consideration, pipelines from Canyon Lake, would offer no mitigation. The CFC’s duty is to ensure the added flood mitigation benefits of retention structures are recognized and taken into account, when weighing the merits of the various options. We are confident that those entrusted with these decisions will not ignore this opportunity to greatly improve the safety and well-being of so many members of our community, but we must show our continued support for structural flood protection during this time. We would like to thank the members of the regional collaboration for all their work thus far and all the efforts still to come: Kerr County, Kendall County, Upper Guadalupe River Authority, Headwaters Groundwater Conservation District, Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, and the Kendall County W.C.I.D.
