Issue Position: Protecting Our Groundwater

Issue Position

John Cyrier worked with Lee and Bastrop County officials and grassroots leaders to author and pass House Bill 3163, which protects water conservation district board members from being sued or held liable when performing their duties in good faith. This new law protects the local control of groundwater from corporate water marketers who would use lawsuits to secure irresponsible, high volume pumping permits that lack protections for local communities.
