Golf Course Property May be Seized Over Water.

Falconhead golf course, located in suburban sprawl outside of Austin, allegedly owes its water district $778,000. Legal action ensued, as did a threat of siezing the golf course’s property, in the form of its irrigation system.

 Here’s what happened:

• The golf course and the Travis County Public Utility Agency (TCPUA) disagree as to how the golf course should use its irrigation system.
• TCPUA says the golf course owes it $778K
• TCPUA filed legal action asking for any proceeds from the sale of the golf course stay in Texas
  • A judge denied this request by TCPUA
• TCPUA wants to sieze the irrigation system and force the golf course to use its irrigation system under the terms it says apply to the course
