The Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District (“District”) was created in 2005 by the 79th Legislature with a directive to conserve, preserve, protect, and recharge the groundwater resources of Burnet County, and to prevent waste and degradation of quality of those groundwater resources. The boundaries of the District are coextensive with the boundaries of Burnet County. The citizens of Burnet County confirmed creation of the District by an election held on September 21, 2005. The District is committed to manage and protect the groundwater resources of Burnet County and to work with others to ensure a sustainable, adequate, high-quality and cost-effective supply of water, now and in the future. The District will strive to develop, promote, and implement water conservation, augmentation, and management strategies to protect water resources for the benefit of the citizens, economy, and environment of Burnet County. The preservation of this most valuable resource can be managed in a prudent and cost-effective manner through conservation, education, management, and permitting. Any action taken by the District shall only be after full consideration and respect has been afforded to the individual property rights of the citizens of Burnet County.
The rules of the Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District were initially adopted by the Board of Directors on August 31, 2009, and made initially effective on September 1, 2009, after numerous properly noticed public meetings and hearings. The rules were subsequently amended after proper notice and hearing on May 17, 2010, on August 13, 2010, and again on November 12, 2010. In accordance with Section 59, Article XVI of the Texas Constitution, the District Act, and Chapter 36 of the Texas Water Code.
