Please see below for the multipurpose forms of intent to drill, alter, or document a well or other aquifer penetration within the boundaries of the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. These forms must be completed and returned, along with the required fee and map to the District office in order to obtain the Well Construction Notification Confirmation. This confirmation is required for all wells before drilling commences. Failure to comply can lead to a fine and civil penalties.
Due to the severe effects of drought and declining aquifer levels, the District Board of Directors made changes to Rule 13.3.3 that temporarily prohibit the District from accepting new operating permit applications, permit amendment applications requesting more water, or new well construction notifications for non-exempt wells during Stage 3 (Critical) or Stage 4 (Emergency) Drought conditions.
When aquifer conditions improve and the District returns to Stage 2 or Stage 1 Drought conditions, the District will accept these applications for processing.
