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 to prevent depletion and protect existing wells, the District plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainable water resources for both local and external users.
Recognizing the potential consequences of increased water demands, the District's mission is to strike a balance between meeting current needs and safeguarding the long-term availability of groundwater. By implementing rules and regulations, the District aims to prevent wells from running dry and mitigate the adverse effects of nearby large-scale water withdrawals, thus ensuring the continued viability of the aquifer system in the area.
