Stop the Water Profiteers at SAWS!

The Issue

We, the people, are tired of the profiteering water utility – San Antonio Water System (SAWS) – forcing the most expensive water in the US, through the Vista Ridge water pipeline, on millions of ratepayers and landowners throughout central Texas.

The San Antone Hose (Vista Ridge) is hosing us all as the urban “growth machine” in Austin and San Antonio forces us to subsidize land speculators and developers – the biggest welfare queens in the state of Texas!

WE SAY NO TO UNAFFORDABLE HYPER-DEVELOPMENT AND FORCING US TO SUBSIDIZE IT!

The mass movement of groundwater to areas without their own local supply is a proven failure in California.

The urban growth machine ruined California. Don’t let them do this to Texas!
