Laredo, Texas - Developing news in the debate over extracting water from the Pecos River.
The City of Laredo will announce its opposition to a water project supported by Midland businessman Clayton Williams.
According to the Laredo Sun newspaper, Mayor Raul Salinas says the resolution will be presented at the next city council meeting.
He is quoted as saying that the project is harmful and negative for those who depend on the Rio Grande.
The Pecos River feeds about 80-million gallons of water per day into the Rio Grande.
Williams says he has the right to extract underground water from his property near Fort Stockton and he plans to sell it for industrial use in Midland.
