In Case You Missed It: Rep. Erin Zwiener on Water Policy
Last month, State Rep. Erin Zwiener attended our General Membership meeting to discuss water issues and share an early preview of the 2027 legislative session. It was an informative evening, and we're thankful for her time!
If you’d like to learn more about Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (HTGCD) legislation from last session, check out this one-pager. You can also keep up with Rep. Zwiener's ongoing legislative efforts by signing up for her newsletter.
We want to recognize that State Rep. Carrie Isaac represents many of our members. We encourage you to follow her legislative work and stay informed. Not sure who represents you, click here!
Upcoming Events
General Membership Meeting
Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2026
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Driftwood Community Center (15112 W RR 150)
Water Is Coming to a Head in Hays County — Come Hear What's Next! Mark your calendar: Tuesday, July 14th, Hays County Precinct 3 Commissioner Morgan Hammer joins us to close out our water series with real news, not just talk.
Commissioner Hammer will unveil a newly forming regional water resources collaborative, a multi-party effort bringing together the players who control our water future. This is the meeting where you find out what's actually being negotiated, who's at the table, and what it means for Driftwood.
She'll also cover the broader water issues on the county's plate right now: resource management, cross-jurisdiction agreements, and the tradeoffs behind them. Bring your questions. Commissioner Hammer wants to hear them, and this is a chance to speak directly with an elected official involved in making these calls. Don't sit this one out!
