Water Matters is the newsletter of the Highland Lakes Group. It was first published in September, 1993, to inform Highland Lakes residents and businesses of San Antonio's plans to make the Highland Lakes part of the San Antonio Water System.  The most recent printed edition of Water Matters was in February, 2008, and that will be the last one that is printed and mailed. This is the first edition of the new email version of Water Matters.

It will take some practice on the part of both readers and editors to make the transition smoothly. For example, the printed edition of Water Matters often contained articles of two or three printed pages. Long articles will not work well in the new email format, so when we have an article that is longer than one page, it will be continued on the Highland Lakes Group web site. There will be a few sentences in the email about the subject of the article. If the subject is of interest to you, you may find the balance of the article by clicking on the link provided in the email. To return to the email newsletter, simply click on the red X icon in the upper right corner of the screen, and you will be back in the email newsletter.

Making the transition from print-and-mail to email cost us a significant number of our readers, since we did not have an email address for everyone we mailed to. You can help with this problem by forwarding this email to one or two of your friends that you think would be interested in keeping up with lake issues. If you are not interested yourself, you can unsubscribe by clicking on the "unsubscribe" block at the end of this newsletter.
