Yesterday at Bandera County's Commissioner's Court Meeting, a Green approach to new subdivision development was discussed. This is a novel idea around here, and the questions and answers were flying around the room. This topic is of great interest to me as a Real Estate Broker in the Hill Country of Texas. Several small communities are wrestling with the new growth vs staying rural dilemma. How can small County Governments control how their county grows?
This new proposed subdivision uses rain capture and grey water recycling to provide all the water that each home in the subdivision would require, enough even to sustain them during the frequent droughts that Texas has. I was fascinated with the developer's and his team's answers to each question brought forth by the commissioners. This would mean less wells would be draining our precious aquifers. As this process moves along in the court, I will keep you informed of it's progress.
