“This alliance is not to take control of your water rights….
This alliance is to make the most use of everybody’s water rights.”
Medina County has joined the Medina County Water Alliance group and the City of Devine was set to discuss joining at a special meeting on press night. The alliance was started by local leaders at East Medina and Yancey Water in an effort to protect water security in Medina County which is growing by leaps and bounds with incoming subdivisions.
