WELCOME
The Southeast Texas Groundwater
Conservation District was confirmed in November 2004 by the voters of Jasper and
Newton Counties and November of 2005 by the voter of Hardin and Tyler Counties.
The main function of the District is to monitor the water level underneath the
two counties to determine if the removal of the water, especially for export,
will endanger the availability of water for our citizens.
The District is coordinating efforts with the Texas Water Development Board to ensure that data required for the water models is current and accurate. The Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District has established rules and policies regarding the registration of and operations for all water wells within the District.
An exempt well shall mean any well for which the District is prohibited to require a permit under the District Act, Texas Water Code §36.117 or the District Rules including a well conditionally exempt under Rule 16. Exempt wells include wells used solely for domestic or agriculture purpose or for providing water for livestock or poultry (these uses constitute Exempt Purpose) that is either drilled, completed, or equipped so that it is incapable of producing more than 100,000 gallons per day and certain wells for hydrocarbon production. Wells to supply water for subdivision of land for which plat approval is required by law or regulation are not exempt. For all purposes herein, an Exempt Well shall be exempt from permitting requirements and production fees but shall not be exempt from pre-registration or registration requirements.
Your support ensures the Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District meets the requirements of accountability and good stewardship that it was designed to accomplish without creating unnecessary burden to those affected by the system.
This website provides the forms necessary for registering your well and/or applying for a permit to operate a non-exempt well in the District. The registration of an exempt well is free of charge. To protect your rights, the Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District needs to know where your well is.
