The District is responsible for the management of groundwater in Bell County, Texas. Our mission is to “develop and implement an efficient, economical and environmentally sound groundwater management program to protect and enhance the water resources of the district.”
We don’t treat or sell water. Put simply, we are in charge of local well permitting, monitoring, and enforcement, regional planning, aquifer research and data, maintaining water quality, and offering public education and outreach.
GCDs are political subdivisions of the state created to protect and balance private groundwater interests with the conservation, preservation, protection, recharging and prevention of waste of groundwater, and the control of subsidence caused by withdrawal.
Yes, state law requries all wells to be registered with the GCD. This does not mean that all wells require a permit. All domestic wells and livestock wells that produce less than 25,000 gallons per day are exempt from permits. A GCD has the ability to exempt others in their rules.
