Water: Living in Stage 5

Wimberley Roundtable and the League of Women Voters of Hays County host a panel discussion on “Water: Living in Stage 5” on Wednesday, May 14, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Wimberley United Methodist Church. 

Wimberley and other parts of Hays County have been in Stage 4 water restrictions since August of 2024. Jacobs Well has been closed for swimming now for four years due to essentially zero water flow.  What happens when Stage 5 restrictions are imposed in the effort to manage and conserve water for the benefit of all residents?

Panelists include County Commissioner Walt Smith (R-Pct 4); Linda Kaye Rogers, Hays-Trinity Groundwater Conservation District board vice-president; as well as Marshall Jennings, former Asst. Director Edwards Aquifer Research Data Ctr., hydrogeologist, and retired Texas State University faculty member; Chris Elliott, a concerned well-owner in Rolling Oaks; and Dan Pickens, former board member  of the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District.

The public is invited to this important discussion.
