SEGUIN-The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority will hold a public kick-off meeting to discuss Kendall County and the City of Fair Oaks water and wastewater issues. The meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 11, 2010 at the Boerne Community Center.

The objective of the meeting is to begin a planning study to identify water supplies needed for growth while protecting the surface and ground water quality in the Kendall County area from adverse effects. The purpose of the planning study is to evaluate existing and proposed water supplies and wastewater treatment facilities as to location, capacity and ability to expand and meet the needs of Kendall County.

The GBRA was established by the Texas Legislature in 1933 as a water conservation and reclamation district. GBRA provides stewardship for the water resources in its 10-county statutory district, which begins near the headwaters of the Guadalupe and Blanco rivers, ends at San Antonio Bay, and includes Kendall, Comal, Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe, Gonzales, DeWitt, Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties.
