Groundwater breach: University of Texas West Campus neighborhood

Posting all communication by the city, the neighborhood assoc., + news sources in regard to groundwater breaching due to the scale of housing development. For over a year now, groundwater has been trickling east on 22nd st. w/ stagnant puddles at Pearl/22nd, posing access problems for people on wheelchairs, bikes, or those with mobility issues. There are reports of new breaches. Responsibility is on the private developers and city officials to fix this mess. It'll be our tax dollars at stake.

Want to join?

Please contact Nirav V. Patel at goodbhai (at) gmail.com or at 512/468-8201 to be an author of this blog. We encourage all neighbors that are affected by the west campus housing developments mentioned here to speak up and voice their opinions. But if you are not a resident of the neighbor and want to comment too, we'd be happy to let you do so. Lastly, this blog is open to any city officials or owners of west campus properties as well.
