Background Information:
Alliance Water (formerly the Hays Caldwell Public Utility Agency) is a Regional Water Authority that was formed in January 2007 for the purpose of resolving the long-term water needs for its Participants. Alliance Water is comprised of the cities of Kyle, San Marcos and Buda, along with the Canyon Regional Water Authority which represents County Line Special Utility District (SUD), Crystal Clear SUD, Martindale WSC, and Green Valley SUD.
During the 2017 Legislative Session, Senate Bill 1198 and House Bill 2540 were passed authorizing the name change from Hays Caldwell Public Utility Agency to Alliance Regional Water Authority.
These are the Authority’s initial appointments since the name change. All of the initial directors will take office on May 1, 2018. The initial directors will draw lots to determine which directors serve a one‐year term expiring April 30, 2019, which directors serve a two‐year term expiring April 30, 2020, and which directors serve a three‐year term expiring April 30, 2021. Directors thereafter will serve staggered three‐year terms.
Currently representing San Marcos are:
Council Member, Jane Hughson - Chair
Deputy Mayor Pro Tem, Scott Gregson
Assistant City Manager, Steve Parker
Executive Director of Public Services, Tom Taggart
Assistant Director of Public Services, Jon Clack
