Santa Anna Wastewater
Hearing Is Postponed
A Tex. s Water Commission
hearing on an application by the
City of .Santa Anna for an
amended waste-water dis-
charge permit has been post
poned.
A TWC spokesman said the

attorneys for the City and for
the local downstream land
owners protesting the applies
tion, began attempts to reach a
compromise on the matter.
The city is seeking to amend
its permit to increase its waste
water discharge to 150,000
gallons daily. The discharge is
from the treatment plant
located about two and one-half
miles southwest of town.
The treated effluent is dis-
charged into an unnamed
tributary of Horse Creek, then
into Horse Creek, then to Home
Creek, and then to the Colorado
River.
A new date for the hearing
has not been set.
