Please take a moment to read. this is very IMPORTANT!

According to the data from the Hays Trinity Ground Water Conservation District

From July 2022 to July 2021 the Trinity Aquifer has a rain deficit of nearly 11”

From July 2021 to July 2020 the Trinity Aquifer has a rain deficit of nearly 7”

Historically the area receives an average of 36” of rain per year, thus averaging 72” for a 24 month period. The last 24 months the data shows rain fall of 55” in our area considered recharge for the Trinity Aquifer. 

On September first 2022 HTGWCD will implement the emergency drought measure of targeting a 40% reduction in water usage throughout prescribed jurisdiction.

Simply put we need to reduce water consumption now.  As noted before, our well is a monitoring well for the HTGWCD. Our water levels measured in our well are the lowest since we began recording in September 2018.

The ask is simple; be a responsible adult and make every effort to reduce water consumption. We are at a time (some have said past a time) when excessive use must be curtailed.
