Simon Sequeira, the owner and president of Quadvest Water Company, a family-owned water provider with primary operations in Montgomery County, spoke before Commissioners Court about the ongoing battles between water providers such as his and both the Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District (LSGCD) board and the San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA). Before his appearance, Sequeira wrote to Commissioners Court in an effort to have the court remove two appointed representatives to Lone Star appointed by Commissioners Court who he feels have undermined Montgomery County residents, and appoint replacements who agree to protect private property rights in Montgomery County. Sequeira has also been involved in meetings between the heads of various area water utility companies and entities being affected by the board’s recent decisions.
