The District is currently in Emergency Drought Stage. Water wells are failing at an unprecedented rate. No new permits for production or non-exempt well construction will be accepted until conditions improve. Please conserve water.

If you are planning to drill a well on a property within the District (Click for map), please go to the Forms page for the necessary forms that need to be completed prior to drilling.

Please read our April Aquifer Health Assessment. The monthly assessment utilizes water level data from the District’s well monitoring network to present current water level conditions in the Trinity Aquifer. Also included is a timestep of aquifer conditions from the past year.
