On Sept 15, 2008, the District Board modified its rules to keep up with the changing circumstances in Brewster County. One important rule change is that after several years of encouraging voluntary compliance for non-exempt operating wells, the District will require all such wells to be registered by June 1, 2009. These are defined as such wells equipped to pump over 25,000 gallons of water per day.Click here to see the new rules.

NEWS: The Far West Texas Water Planning Group has recommended to the Texas Water Development Board that it include acquisition of data for the Marathon Aquifer in its latest scope of work.  Such data would be in the form of aquifer pumping tests at up to eight locations. As of April 1, 2009, work is beginning on this much needed project. For a recent report of new well data in the far West Texas region, click here
