Why All This Push To Get So Much
Water In Leander?
The Austin American Statesman announced
on July 12: Leander
Mayor John Cowman has teamed with John Lewis, a longtime
Central Texas land developer, on an $11.5 million land
investment in Leander’s ETJ. They envision
a high end residential development.
Crystal Falls developer, Bill Hinckley,
wanted the land, but offered less than Cowan. He
thought it might take years to get public utilities to
the land.
No problem now! This stinks.
Note: Leander recently jumped from
using 3,200 AFY to reserving 24,000 AFY (The city will
pay a ½ price
reservation fee on the unused water.)
Note: Leander is the major contributor to the proposed deep
water intake in Volente because they will take more water
from the intake than Cedar Park and Round Rock.
