According to the Village Community Dev District website, section on high usage notification, the average 2 person home in the villages uses about 10,000 gallons of water per month
Village Community Development Districts
Which converts to about 300 gallons per day per household. So when the developer adds 3000 households in Feeney that will use 1 million gallons a day of new water. This is on top of the expansions south of 466A which are ongoing..

I only post this to point out that the Water district would be hard pressed to refuse to allow a 1/2 million gallon per day extraction unless they are also prepared to deny permits for new developments by the Morse family and other developers. Water is water and the ongoing residential and commercial growth is having a far greater potential impact on the aquifer than will the lease approved this week.
