LCRA Board votes to settle SAWS suit
The LCRA Board of Directors voted Oct. 19 to settle a $1.2 billion lawsuit with the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) over a proposed water supply project dating back nearly a decade. "The greatest benefit of this settlement is that it allows both LCRA and SAWS to focus on the most important part of our jobs – finding and developing new water supplies for Texas," said LCRA Board Chair Tim Timmerman. "If this state is to continue flourishing, we must work together to develop new supplies of water."
