Temporary injunction, settlement agreement saves lakes at least for a year GBRA defends safety on area lakes

Settlement agreement temporarily stops the drain By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- "The bottom line today is that they got water." Those are the words of Attorney Douglas Sutter, of Houston, as he better defines the details behind Monday's settlement agreement between two separate groups of lakefront property owners and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. The groups, on Monday, returned to the courtroom of visiting Judge Stephen Ables after beginning a temporary injunction hearing on the dewatering of area lakes last Wednesday. The judge also tentatively set a trial date for one year from now. That means the lakes will be safe until at least that scheduled date of Oct. 5 2020. The hope is for GBRA and the plaintiffs from both suits to work to reach a consensus on the safety of the dams and a pathway forward or find themselves back in the courtroom. Sutter says agreeing to a temporary injunction is just a "narrow" piece of a much bigger hurdle. See SETTLEMENT, page 2

(Seguin) -- The attorney for the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority is describing Monday's temporary settlement agreement to not dewater area lakes as a "good faith agreement� entered into by both parties. GBRA Attorney Lamont Jefferson says it's not only a good first step to finding a solution but it also initiates action to keep people safe. "I think it recognizes and does a good job of balancing the interests of all parties -- the property owners and the interest of GBRA in protecting the public from what it perceives as a real hazard," said Jefferson.
