<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />La Porte Independent School District <br /> <br />DR. CHARLES D. GREER, Superintend.", <br /> <br />LA PORTE, TEXAS <br /> <br />June 15, 1977 <br /> <br />Texas Water Quality Board <br />1700 North Congress <br />Stephen F. Austin Building <br />Box 13246 Capitol Station <br />Austin, TX 78711 <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />The City of La Porte, Texas has applied for a grant to improve <br />its sanitary sewer system. This letter is in support of that <br />application, from the point of view of the La Porte Independent <br />School District. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The City of La Porte, beginning to feel the urban sprawl of Houstqn, <br />does not have the tax base it needs to finance the sanitary sewer <br />system it needs. Federal funds for this project seem to be partiqu- <br />larly appropriate in light of the facts that, the degree of urban <br />renewal needed in La Porte will have to begin with rebuilding the <br />sewage system; that La Porte is alrrDst surrourrled with smaller <br />municipal utility districts, posing the demand that extremely hig!) <br />efficient standards be maintained; and, residents of La Porte COrM <br />tribute their share of federal taxes. <br /> <br />Schools in La Porte experience sewage problems periodically. We <br />un:lerstand the City of La Porte does the best it can with the avaj,lable <br />resources, but we know the service should be improved :for health and <br />convenience reasons. <br /> <br />We respectfully request that La Porte be awarded a high priority ror <br />a Municipal Facilit1es Construction Grant. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~2r:~ <br /> <br />Jr~~ <br /> <br />Cha:rles D.
