AUSTIN (November 18, 2009)—The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Wednesday voted down a proposal to allow millions of gallons of treated sewage to be dumped into several popular Central Texas lakes.
TCEQ commissioners voted 3-0 Wednesday to deny a request to lift a 23-year-old ban on discharges of effluent into the Highland Lakes.
TCEQ spokeswoman Andrea Morrow says Highland Lakes provides drinking water to more than a million people.
The plan angered many waterfront property owners, elected officials and environmentalists.
