Papalote resident urges Bee County to seek long-term water solutions, opposes more wells
Summary
During public comment a resident from Papalote told commissioners the community lacks supplied water and urged officials to pursue long-term solutions rather than drilling more wells; the court acknowledged the comment but no follow-up action was recorded.
A resident from Papalote used the public-comment period to press the Bee County Commissioners Court for an update on water concerns and to oppose drilling wells as the primary response.
The resident said there remain "a lot of unanswered questions" after a prior meeting held by a commissioner at the fire department and urged the court to seek long-term solutions "other than let's drill wells." "We're the only community that don't have any water, supplied water from the city or anything like that," the resident said, asking the court to find alternatives that would provide sustained water service.
The chair thanked the speaker but the transcript records no immediate follow-up direction or staff assignment in response to the comment. The concern remains on the record and residents may request the issue be scheduled for further discussion or placed on a future agenda for staff reporting or policy consideration.
Status: public comment; no formal action recorded.
