WHAT WE DO

Water level measurements

 

As of January 19, 2021, the Board of Directors approved Staff to enforce a deadline for water well permit submission.

Permits can be turned in to the District office the day before the board meeting date no later than 4:00 pm.

Permits submitted the morning of board meeting day, will NOT be presented to the Board of Directors for approval until the following meeting.

This allows staff to field verify well locations before drilling.

If you have questions, please call our office.

 

​To comply with our Management Plan, the Glasscock Groundwater Conservation District is required to provide area residents with information about water conservation, recharge enhancement, precipitation enhancement, and brush control.

Attention!
