The first draft of the 50-year water plan prepared for the Region G Water Planning Group by its engineering consultants is complete and available for public viewing on the Internet, county clerks' offices and libraries.A series of public meetings designed to gather final public input into the plan begins Monday with a 10 a.m. meeting at the San Gabriel Community Center in Georgetown. Other meetings are slated for Granbury on Tuesday, Abilene on Wednesday and Bryan on Thursday.Senate Bill 1 requires at least one public meeting but Region G, with its vast coverage area, will hold a series of public meetings in addition to a public meeting on Aug. 28 in Waco that will conclude the public meetings."The meeting on the 28th in Waco is 'the' public meeting, but anyone who wants to attend the other public meetings would have their comments in the record just the same as if they were in Waco," said Mike Bukala, a spokesman with the Brazos River Authority. by Clay Coppedge
