Georgetown held an open house for the public in 2018 and a presentation to the Commissioners Court on Dec 11.  Many meetings happened with and amongst engineers, Commissioners (not as a group), Naturalists, Native Plant Society members, and the public to flush out all concerns and study of alternative routes.

Finally, on December 18, following a public hearing, all five members of the Commissioners Court voted to reject the request to construct a wastewater line thru Berry Springs Park and Preserve as the risk to that fragile environment was far too great.

Georgetown will probably be pursuing a route in the vicinity of Dry Berry Creek.
