Vista Ridge. Impact to Land Owner Well Water.

Is eminent domain on the table for the Vista Ridge Pipeline connecting to San Antonio Water System? YES

What does SAWS predict as a reason to say No to a Vista Ridge purchase offer? Rural lands that have been in a family for generations.

What does a landowner in the path of Vista Ridge say is his concern and reason he opposes Vista Ridge? His land’s water well drops. The background:

  • This property owner’s water well dropped 17 feet when Blue Water, a member of the Vista Ridge Constorium, began pumping water in the area
  • His well water dropped 20 feet in 1989 when Alcoa plant began operation
