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.
