Dumping wastewater into rivers and streams has been the modus operandi for cities and industries across the nation for well over a century.
500,000 gallons of water into Honey Creek, which rankled nearby residents and local officials. The subdivision has since agreed to apply the wastewater as fertilizer on surrounding land.
In neighboring Uvalde the city has violated rules regarding the discharge of nitrates and suspended solids into ponds that flow into the Leona River. The Leona River is now so polluted that it makes the list of TCEQ’s most impaired waterways in Texas.

TCEQ has issued a few fines averaging $10,000 but continues to renew the cities’ discharge permits.
