Fischer, Texas
Promoting Responsible Growth and Water Management in the Hill Country
Why Canyon Lake matters to all of us
Canyon Lake provides drinking water not only to Canyon Lake, Sattler, and Startzville residents, but also to Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, New Braunfels, parts of San Antonio, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Blanco, Fischer, and the many subdivisions in between.
The Neighbors are all the residents of these towns, subdivisions, and ranches whose water and health will be put at risk so that Lennar Homes can over-build in Fischer and further compromise Canyon Lake and the Trinity Aquifer.
The threat
Broken Cedar Ranch threatens Canyon Lake & the Trinity Aquifer
Lennar Homes is moving forward with an 850-home development near Canyon Lake. Its wastewater plant would discharge up to 600,000 gallons per day of treated effluent into waterways flowing directly into Canyon Lake.
- • More traffic on already strained roads
- • Pressure on schools, emergency services & infrastructure
- • Stormwater runoff from new impervious cover
- • Long-term risk to groundwater, wells, and property values
