R85-04
WHEREAS the Texas Department of Water Resources is
considering the adoption of certain Rules and Regulations on
activities with the potential for causing pollution of the
Edwards Aquifer; and
WHEREAS the City of Georgetown will be affected by such
rules; and
WHEREAS said City objects to a portion of such rules and has
many questions concerning other portions thereof;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN that
said City objects to the adoption of such rules by the Texas
Department of Water Resources in each of the particulars as
follows:
1. The proposed Aquifer Recharge Area Map incorrectly
includes the Georgetown Sewage Treatment Plant area. Such area
should be excluded from such map before it is adopted.
2. The propesed rules relative to sewer lines in the five
(5) year flood plain are arbitrary and unreasonable. Their
implementation will work extreme financial hardship on the City
and the deterrent effect would be negligable. The said costs are
extreme and certain whereas the benefits intended are uncertain.
3. The rules relative to testing, repairing and replacing
existing sewer lines should be modified so as to allow adequate
time and so that the expense involved will be reasonable.
4. More time for the City of Georgetown and others affected
by such rules should be allowed. The Texas Department of Water
Resources should postpone the adoption of any such rules for at
least days.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this the _ day of January,
1985.
