I am a Dallas County resident and my family is a Hays County land owner with a couple of private wells. Our aquifer is a limited resource that must be managed responsibly to ensure that we all have access to adequate water in the future. SB 2660 provides that protection by giving the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District the same authority as neighboring districts across Texas. Please help protect Texans’ water and our private property rights and support SB 2660. The Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (HTGCD) still lacks the tools and funding it needs to protect our aquifer. SB 2660 changes that by aligning western Hays County with other groundwater districts across Texas, ensuring sustainable, science-based water management. SB 2660: Protects household and agricultural wells – No new taxes, meters, or fees Applies fair fees – Only on large commercial wells, using the same model already working in eastern Hays County Supports local water oversight – By funding responsible, long-term aquifer protection Why It Matters: Without this bill, landowners will keep facing declining water levels while large-scale pumping continues without proper limits. SB 2660 is our chance to shift that reality, ensuring fair, effective, and locally guided groundwater protection. Thank you for your service and for your continued work on behalf of our community.
