We are writing as concerned residents and community members to formally express my strong opposition to the proposed wastewater treatment plant planned for Littig. This project, as currently proposed, poses serious risks to the health, environment, quality of life and longterm stability of our community.
Littig is a small, rural area where residents depend on clean air, clean water and safe land for our families, livestock and livelihoods. The placement of a wastewater facility in or near our community raises legitimate concerns about odors, air pollution, water contamination, increased truck traffic, noise and the potential failure or overflow of the system during heavy rains or extreme weather events. These risks are not theoretical; similar facilities across Texas have experienced spills, leaks, and compliance issues that leave nearby residents to suffer the consequences.
Equally troubling is the impact this facility could have on property values and community development. A wastewater plant does not belong near homes, farms, or historically underserved rural communities. It discourages investment, undermines generational land ownership and places an unfair burden on residents who did not create the wastewater problem but are expected to absorb its negative effects.
