Thank you for your service! Gracias to Congressman Cesar Blanco for dedicating the monument. Thank you Commissioner Gilda Morales for putting together the dedication. Thank you to Commissioner Raul Rodriguez for working with the veterans in designing the stone. The idea for building the monument came from our local Vietnam Veterans. Thank you veterans for allowing us to help. It takes a team!

The Culberson County Groundwater Conservation District Board met today to again consider whether it should allow Pecan Grove Farms to draw its well water to supply a 500-person man camp near Lobo, south of Van Horn, to work on the border wall. The board would have to do a "waiver" that would allow for a well permitted for agricultural use to use it for public water supply to RVs for the man camp.

Although the man camp would use a fraction of the water used by the pecan farm--and the farm has a vast surplus of water available under its permit--area residents are concerned about other intensive water users coming to the area and asking for the same concessions. Other concerns are the ongoing construction impacts--already felt with huge dust clouds--traffic and the safety for families and children with 500 workers in the area.

The district board tabled the item, as it did at its last meeting. However, it approved a motion to ask the contractors behind the man camp to provide all the TCEQ documentation it is seeking to be allowed to do a public water supply, as well as any sewage permits needed. We'll have more coverage of this tomorrow morning.

Protect our water supply Culberson County! Lets keep pushing against the Wall & the Government that supports it!

County commissioners heard new details Monday on a proposed ‘man camp’ housing facility for border wall workers south of Van Horn. Locals expressed concern that an influx of 500 workers would put a strain on the rural area’s already limited resources.
