Region L Regional Water Plan Public Comment Deadline

The deadline for the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) accepting public comments on Region L’s 2021 draft regional water plans is 5 p.m. July 20, 2020; comments must be submitted to planning group. The CAPCOG area counties in Region L include Caldwell and part of Hays.

The sixteen regional water planning groups are in their final stages of developing their 2021 regional water plans. The five-year plans include water strategies and projects to ensure each region will have enough water in the event of a drought of record in the next 50 years. The initial plans were due on March 3 to the TWDB and public hearings have been underway since late April. Public comments must be made within 60 of the public hearing.

Stakeholder and public involvement are essential to the regional water planning process, and all input is considered. Planning groups must consider all local plans, big and small, to meet their future water needs. If a city doesn’t come forward with specific strategies, the planning group can make recommendations for them.

Review the public hearing times, the public hearing notice.
Directions for submitting comments to each regional planning group are listed in their notices.
