A.J. LouderbackTexas State Representative, District 30
Texas Senate Bill 18 would allow qualified local water districts to build and maintain small dams and reservoirs without getting a permit from the state. These dams must hold no more than 200 acre-feet of water and be used only for erosion, floodwater, and sediment control. The law passed both the Texas Senate and House with no opposition votes.
