Tom Newman reported on three CRWA proposed expansion line routes as they relate to the City. Routes 1
&2(along Green Valley Road)would deliver water to Cibolo's existing system,in the area of immediate
need. Route 3 (along Lower Seguin Road)would be 2 miles distant,would be outside our certificated
delivery area in an area of no immediate need,and would require considerable new lines and facilities. As a
result,Cibolo would be unable to access water from Route 3. He recommended a workshop with the City's
