About Save Our Springs Alliance
Save Our Springs Alliance sprung to life in 1990 as a loose coalition of citizens fighting a massive development proposal
for the Barton Creek watershed. Organized in 1992 as the Save Our Springs Coalition, we wrote and petitioned for the Save Our Springs Ordinance to protect the quality of water coming off of development in the fragile Barton Springs watershed.
With the voter approval of the SOS Ordinance, developers went on the attack at the court house and the Texas Capitol. We incorporated as the Save Our Springs Legal Defense Fund in 1993 to defend developers' attacks on the SOS Ordinance.
Expanding our scope to include building awareness and alliances throughout the Austin area, we became Save Our Springs Alliance in 1997. We routinely work with local conservation groups to advocate for protection of Barton Springs and the Edwards Aquifer.
