The resolution emphasizes the critical importance of the Edwards Aquifer, a vital source of clean groundwater for millions of Texans, covering approximately 4,350 square miles in South Central Texas. It highlights the aquifer's role in providing essential water for various uses, including drinking, agriculture, and industry, particularly for 1.7 million residents in San Antonio. The aquifer's unique geological characteristics make it highly susceptible to contamination from wastewater and other pollutants, posing significant health risks to humans and ecosystems. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is identified as the primary regulatory body responsible for protecting the aquifer's purity through the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program.

In light of a study indicating that certain wastewater systems could significantly degrade the watershed and water quality of the aquifer, the resolution calls for immediate action from the TCEQ to safeguard the Edwards Aquifer and its recharge zones from irreversible contamination. It urges elected officials and regulatory bodies to implement policies that protect this irreplaceable natural resource, and it directs the Texas Secretary of State to forward an official copy of the resolution to the TCEQ commissioners.
