The development, helmed by Florida-based developer Lennar Holmes, would build around 2,900 homes in northwest Bexar County and discharge, on average, an estimated one million gallons per day of treated wastewater into the Helotes Creek watershed.KSAT will livestream the briefing in this article beginning at 9 a.m. Delays are possible; if there is not a livestream available, check back at a later time. Lennar needed state approval for the discharge permit to move the project forward. On Oct. 22, it got that support after the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality The protest from members of the Scenic Loop-Helotes Creek Alliance, who largely oppose the project, comes as they say Lennar has “stepped away” from pursuing a Public Improvement District through Bexar County and instead is focusing on aMUD is a different type of financing and governance structure that, if approved, would shape how infrastructure for the neighborhood is built and funded. Furthermore, a MUD is a separate political entity that can issue bonds and levy taxes to fund utility infrastructure — commonly water, wastewater and drainage — particularly in areas not served by a city’s utility system.
