The Mid-East Texas Groundwater Conservation District, serving Madison, Leon, and Freestone counties, was established by the Texas Legislature in November 2002 to address the declining water table in the region. With the aim of managing groundwater production and preventing depletion of the Acquifer, the District works to balance the increasing demands for water while protecting existing wells from adverse impacts.
Through its authority granted by the Texas Water Code, the District strives to ensure sustainable water resources for both local and external use, while also safeguarding against potential water shortages and the need for costly well deepening. By implementing rules and regulations, the District plays a crucial role in managing the region's water supply and maintaining the long-term viability of groundwater sources.
