The District was created by the Acts of the 70th Legislature (1987), HB 792, and Chapter 865 in accordance with Article XVI, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 35 and 36 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. The voters of Gillespie County approved the creation of the District in August 1987. The District boundaries are coterminous with Gillespie County.
The District's was created for the purpose of conserving, preserving, recharging, controlling subsidence, protecting and preventing waste of groundwater in the aquifers, and to implement proper management techniques to address local groundwater conditions within Gillespie County.
The District currently has no water restrictions in the County. However, although the recent rains have helped with some recharge and some improvement with water levels, water conservation should continue to be practiced by everyone. The fact that the Highland Lakes are less than half full illustrates that we are not out of the current drought.
The District is continuing to monitor local aquifer and drought conditions.
