The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved the permit for a controversial wastewater facility in northwest Bexar County, as part of a development project known as Guajolote Ranch.

Concerns are mounting over a proposed wastewater treatment plant at the Guajolote Ranch development in northwest Bexar County.

Marina Alderete Gavito (D7) and Ivalis Meza Gonzalez (D8) took a tour of the Guajolote Ranch development earlier this week and have since filed a report, calling for their fellow council members to discuss the issue for the first time.

The development, which would be built by Lennar Corporation, requires a wastewater treatment plant. The plant would treat and process sewage before dumping it into the Helotes Creek watershed, which feeds into the Edwards and Trinity aquifers.

Former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg says the city can stop the Guajolote Ranch plan — and he’s not mincing words about the project.

A northwest Bexar County resident is expressing outrage over a proposed wastewater treatment plant that could compromise San Antonio’s drinking water, potentially squandering $351 million in taxpayer funds meant for water protection.

Scenic Loop is a neighborhood with character, and two homes built around abandoned train cars and a streetcar, are nostalgic proof.

Heart pounding. Stomach churning. Zipping above the Hill Country at more than 30 mph. Welcome to the Helotes Hill Country Ziplines. Here, zip lines give riders a view of the Scenic Loop and Helotes communities like no other.

The Scenic Loop Helotes Creek holds a rich history filled with geological wonders, indigenous tribes, and notable landmarks.

The location, landscape and wildlife are what draws newcomers to the area. But with growth comes new issues, including a long line of construction crews waiting outside neighborhoods every morning to start their work.

The neighborhoods that comprise the Scenic Loop Helotes Creek Alliance are focused on water and it's at the heart of their battle against developers. Many homes in the neighborhood are part of the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program.

Residents and organizations in the Grey Forest area are expressing concerns over the potential pollution risks associated with approving a wastewater permit by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Helotes and Grey Forest residents are asking for more voices to join their cause to stop the legal dumping of millions of gallons of treated wastewater just miles from the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.

The Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance is working to protect the drinking water for the region, but the task is growing more difficult as Texas sees a boom in high-density development.

People living in Grey Forest are concerned about plans for a new subdivision that could impact not only the Helotes creek, but also the Edwards Aquifer.
