Lege Trend: 4 Reasons Groundwater Districts Fear Legislative Management Changes

The legislation: SB 1392 , a committee substitute to SB 1392 

Senator Perry on his SB 1392:  All the districts should join hands and sing.    “We’ve got all these little micro-managers running around on the same aquifer, that performs the same way, the same geology, recharges the same, uses the same, and we got different sets of rules,”- Sen. Perry

The groundwater district opposition believes this bill will lead to:

• loss of local control
• loss of private property rights
• more control for urban areas
• water exportation
