WHEREAS, The Central Texas Highland Lakes are irreplaceable
natural resources that supply drinking water to area residents and
serve as an important economic engine in the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, Formed in 2011, the Central Texas Water Coalition
(CTWC) is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that brings together
concerned individuals and groups to constructively address the
water issues of these lakes and the rest of the lower Colorado River
basin; the coalition strives to protect water supplies and water
levels in Central Texas for the benefit of economic development and
human health and safety; and
WHEREAS, The CTWC now boasts a membership of more than 3,000
Texans from the business community, local government, property
owner associations, and environmental interest groups; these
outstanding volunteers spend countless hours attending meetings,
doing research, participating in outreach programs, and advocating
for water policies; and
WHEREAS, Water management and conservation are even more
important during these times of extreme drought, and the members of
the Central Texas Water Coalition are indeed deserving of
recognition for their dedicated efforts in preserving the Highland
Lakes; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Central Texas Water Coalition and
commend its members for their commitment to this important cause;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the CTWC as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
