The guys are working on a water leak. Hopefully the water won’t be off for too long.

The payment box for St Paul WSC has been moved to 14876 FM 3089.

Electricity has been restored at the water plant. All safe to do your washing now. And anything else that uses water. Have a great afternoon!

I was just notified by the contractor that is installing the generators that they will be turning the electricity off to our water well tomorrow between 9:30am-3:30pm. Please refrain from washing clothes, cars, basically anything that uses water during this time period. If we all work together, we should be ok. If not, then we will run out of water.

We have had another contractor here for a couple of weeks that is building our new water tower. Exciting things are happening at St Paul Water Supply Corporation.

As many of you know, St Paul Water Supply Corporation along with the City of Sinton has been fighting the city of Corpus Christi, trying to prevent them from taking million of gallons of water from the Evangeline Aquifer which is right across Hwy 181. This is the aquifer that we and anyone that has a water well, gets our water from. The fight is far from over.

VICTORY TODAY 🗣️
One Battle Won But The Water War Continues.

Today marks a significant procedural win for San Patricio County in the growing fight over the proposed Evangeline Aquifer groundwater project.

Judge York has recommended that City of Sinton and St. Paul Water Supply Corporation be granted party status regarding the drilling permits and transport permit applications tied to the project. She also recommended contested-case hearing status for R.B. Farms Inc. and Ring Bros. Farm and Seed.

That may sound technical but the implications are huge.

This is no longer just a standard permit review process.

A contested-case hearing functions much more like a trial. It can involve attorneys, expert witnesses, hydrogeologists, scientific studies, cross examination, evidence, motions, administrative rulings, and appeals. These cases can stretch on for months sometimes even years.

This means the concerns surrounding the Evangeline project were serious enough that they could not simply be rushed through without deeper scrutiny.

And there are a lot of concerns:
• groundwater drawdown
• impacts to rural water wells
• agricultural sustainability
• water quality risks
• long-term aquifer health
• potential environmental impacts across South Texas

Meanwhile, cities, industries, developers, and rural communities are all increasingly competing for the same shrinking water resources during worsening drought conditions.

The permits have NOT been denied.
The project is NOT dead.
And the pressure to secure new water sources is only growing stronger across the Coastal Bend.

But this decision proves something important:
Public involvement matters.

People showing up to meetings mattered.
People filing comments mattered.
Communities organizing mattered.
Local governments and farmers standing up mattered.

For many people, this fight was never about politics. It was about survival, property, agriculture, family land, and protecting the future water supply for generations to come.

This was one battle.
The larger water war in South Texas is still unfolding in real time.

With the freezing weather coming in Sunday and Monday mornings, make sure you cover any exposed water pipes and that you drip water from your facuets. St Paul WSC should be in good shape. We will cover the pipes at the water plant and add heaters under that. We do have a generator, so if we lose power, we will use the generator.

I also want to bring to your attention, that the meter reader and his wife have both been biten by dogs last month and today while reading the meters. This is unacceptable. I told her today, that if she has any concerns about any dog while reading the meters today, to not read that meter.

STAY WARM EVERYBODY!
