Recently the Board reviewed our rates and how they compare to other water supply corporations in the Central Texas area. After reviewing the rates, we are very competitive and among the lowest of those surveyed; see the chart below which shows the monthly charge for a user of 3K gallons per month during normal, non-drought, conditions.
The Board found that 79 legal ballots had been cast during the Annual Meeting. After review, the following candidates were officially elected to the Board:
Steve Selger: 67 votes
Dale Olmstead: 64 votes
Joe Collins: 58 votes
Sonny Hollub: 39 votes
Unfortunately, shortly after the Annual Meeting and prior to the Board’s next regular meeting, Sonny Hollub resigned for personal reasons. The board, at its next regular meeting, appointed Pat Dorsett, the runner-up in the director election, to fill the vacancy.
A quick reminder… Register now for Groundwater to the Gulf: A summer institute for Central Texas Educators! Every year, water experts from over 13 agencies in Central Texas combine forces to take 50 teachers to the aquatic hotspots in and around Austin. We go caving, canoeing, hiking, and splash in streams–all in the name of science. It is the most fun, free way to earn 22 continuing education credits. Dip your hands into local water topics and try activities that help bring those topics back to your classroom.
Visit the Groundwater to the Gulf Registration page for more details including photos from years past, registration link, and sponsor info.
Sign-up is limited to 50 educators… and the first 30 that sign up and attend get a bonus Whole Earth Provision Company gift certificate. The entire training is free and includes lunch, prizes, and an armload of freebies, but you have to mail in a $50 check to guarantee your slot–which we give back once you complete the training.
