On June 28, the Edwards Aquifer Authority, or EAA, celebrated its 30th year of serving the community. To celebrate the milestone, the EAA released an episode of its Recharge Zone Podcast detailing the agency’s history and future, is holding a "Rooted in Saving Water: Conserve and Share It" photo contest and released a celebratory and instructional YouTube video.

The gist: The EAA is a regional water management agency responsible for regulating the use of the Edwards Aquifer, a resource that provides water to a large number of Texans and municipalities.

In 1993, the Texas Legislature adopted the EAA Act, a piece of legislation that created the EAA as a political subdivision of the state to preserve and protect the aquifer, according to the EAA website. The act was passed to keep the federal government from taking control of the aquifer under the Endangered Species Act.

Also of note: The EAA’s photo contest aims to celebrate the history of the agency by highlighting community members’ efforts to preserve the aquifer.

The newest Italian scratch-kitchen restaurant has opened its doors to customers in Wimberly, expanding the footprint of local restaurateur Gennaro DiMeo.

The gist: Gennaro’s Ristorante Italiano, owned and operated by the DiMeo and Taccogna families, offers diners made-from-scratch cuisine, including classic Italian dishes. The restaurant’s location was previously Hildee's Dine-Inn.

DiMeo is not only a co-owner, but also the restaurant’s executive chef. He has crafted menu items with his own personal touch, adding a southern Italian flair inspired by his upbringing in Naples, Italy, Taccogna said.

The owners work to bring the Italian experience to the Wimberley community and patrons, Taccogna said. The restaurant is centered on an oak tree and features both indoor and outdoor seating.

Meet the owner: DiMeo has been in the restaurant business for almost five decades. He owns two Houston-area restaurants, in Deer Park and Baytown, and two additional restaurants in Canyon Lake, Gennaro’s Trattoria and Elio’s Pizzeria.
