Texans Oppose Elon Musk's Wastewater Dumping Plans in Colorado River

Residents of Bastrop, Texas are opposing a permit that would allow Elon Musk's Boring Company to dump over 140,000 gallons of treated wastewater into the Colorado River. The company is expanding its operations in Bastrop County and plans to build a company town called Snailbrook. Residents and officials are concerned about the private wastewater dumping and would prefer the company to opt into the existing local wastewater system. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality held a meeting to discuss the company's operational plans, and a final decision on the pending permit could be months away.
