March 6, 2026 – A new Instagram video produced by the Scenic Loop-Helotes Creek Alliance, and featuring area residents of all ages, makes a direct and impassioned appeal to Lennar Corp. to heed the example of good local corporate citizens and “do what’s right for San Antonio.”

Florida-based Lennar wants to build nearly 3,000 homes on 550 acres of the 1,160-acre Guajolote Ranch in northwest Bexar County – more than five homes per acre – and release up to 4 million gallons a day of treated sewage (1 million gallons average, daily) into the state’s most sensitive aquifer zones that provide drinking water for 2.5 million people across multiple counties.
All 10 state representatives representing Bexar County and four state senators representing Bexar and Travis counties, of both parties, along with the cities of San Antonio, Helotes and Grey Forest, and Bexar County commissioners, are against the development.
And a district court in Austin is gathering evidentiary material for a lawsuit filed by the Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance against the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, challenging a wastewater permit for the development.
Here is the script of the video:
