Save our Springs files for bankruptcy 4/10/2007 5:07 PM By: News 8 Austin Staff One of the most powerful environmental groups in Central Texas has filed for bankruptcy Tuesday. _Save Our Springs Alliance_ (http://www.sosalliance.org/) filed for Chapter 13 protection from a $300,000 judgment against it in a lawsuit with the Lazy Nine Municipal Utility District. The Texas Supreme Court refused to review or set aside the verdict in the Lazy Nine lawsuit, prompting S.O.S. decision to file bankruptcy. Back in 2004, the S.O.S. Alliance sued developers claiming that building a massive development in the Hill Country would cause major pollution of waterways along Highway 71. Save our Springs Alliance has been a major advocate for preserving water and wildlife in Austin's greenbelts and the protection of the Edwards Aquifer and its surrounding watershed. _http://www.news8austin.com/content/your_news/default.asp?ArID=182268_ (http://www.news8austin.com/content/your_news/default.asp?ArID=182268)
