Supporting Rogers for Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District

I enthusiastically support Linda Kaye Rogers for re-election as Director District 4 (WATER HT4 on your orange Voter Registration Certificate).

Linda Kaye first elected to the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District Board of Directors in 2013 is the Board’s senior member. Since 2014 she has led the Board outstandingly as its President to conserve, preserve, recharge, and prevent groundwater waste in western Hays County.

During her tenure, Linda Kaye has successfully gotten the District on an adequate economic basis to protect property values, property rights, and economic development in this urbanizing Hill Country GCD. Under her leadership the District Staff has expanded to meet growth demands. Significant scientific work has been done to enlarge the groundwater well monitoring system and support a hydrogeologic atlas of the Hill Country Trinity Aquifer. A special Groundwater Management Zone has been created to protect our iconic Jacob’s Well spring, which is the source of Cypress Creek, the City of Wimberley’s economic engine.

Groundwater Conservation District elections are non-partisan races. Water does not care what your politics are, and neither does Linda Kaye. She has worked to serve all of us. Linda Kaye Rogers will continue to devote her time and energy to keep our groundwater safe and flowing.

Please support her experience, expertise, and endurance on November 3rd. Don’t give up finding the HTGCD election on the ballot. You may have to look long and hard near the bottom but voting for Linda Kaye Rogers will be worth it!

You’ve seen the signs for years: Save Our Wells. In 2015, hundreds of you packed the Wimberley Civic Center to tell Electro Purification to stop trying to sell our water from beneath our feet. In the aftermath of the Wimberley Flood, House Bill 3405 placed that unprotected land under the care of local groundwater districts.

Our valley is well served by our two groundwater districts — Hays Trinity and Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer — working cooperatively to use science to make these crucial permitting decisions.

Why should you care? Water is life. We all depend on the tap to flow when we turn it on, but we also want to retain our natural gems like Jacob’s Well, Blue Hole, Cypress Creek and the Blanco River in their current glory.

Linda Kaye Rogers has served on the Hays Trinity GCD board since 2013; as president for six years. What incredible years those have been! Not only the EP project problems (still fighting today) and the ongoing concerns about growth and drought, but then the Kinder Morgan pipeline project and its impact on groundwater.

Through it all, Linda Kaye has led the district with passion, commitment and tenacity. She relies on science and listens to the concerns of her constituents. She’s always available to help and forges ahead no matter how difficult the problem.

Linda Kaye initiated action to establish the Jacobs Well General Management Zone. She gathered 35 stakeholders, who worked through a nine-month long process to protect the aquifer and our water supply and restore the spring flow that feeds the beautiful Cypress Creek and the iconic Blue Hole Regional Park downstream.

Those Save Our Wells signs are tattered now, but our spirit is as strong as ever. Please re-elect the leadership we depend upon for groundwater, Linda Kaye Rogers.
