A small coalition of landowners living next to Johnson Ranch, a development near Bulverde along U.S. 281, are continuing a long-simmering legal battle they have waged in an effort to stop the discharge of treated wastewater through and near their properties and over areas that recharge the Edwards Aquifer. The group is now suing the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality over its granting of a permit to allow the development to discharge its treated wastewater, according to the lawsuit filed in early December.
