Wastewater treatment facilities exist along the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. What makes Guajolote Ranch different?

Concerns are rising over a proposed wastewater treatment plant at Guajolote Ranch in northwest Bexar County, as it could impact the drinking water for 2.5 million people by discharging treated sewage into Helotes Creek, which feeds the Trinity and Edwards aquifers. Existing plants in the area have a history of non-compliance, with violations including high pollutant levels, leading to skepticism about the new facility's potential environmental impact.
