IMPORTANT GROUNDWATER UPDATE FOR WESTERN WISE COUNTY

The Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District Board voted unanimously Thursday night to approve new rules aimed at protecting groundwater across the district.

One of the most significant changes for Wise County increases the minimum tract size for a new groundwater well from 2 acres to 5 acres in areas where the aquifer is 60 feet thick or less. The area shown in red on the attached map covers much of western Wise County, including large portions of Precincts 2 and 4. The new tract size requirement will take effect January 1, 2027.

This requirement will apply to property subdivided after December 31, 2026. Property that has already been platted is not automatically changed by this new requirement.

As Wise County continues to grow, groundwater availability has become one of the most important issues facing the western part of our county. Many residents depend entirely on private wells, and development decisions made today can affect neighboring wells and our groundwater supply for generations.

The board also approved changes involving high-volume wells, groundwater studies, well spacing and other groundwater protections.

On July 17, Doug Shaw, General Manager of the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, addressed the Wise County Commissioners Court and explained the proposed rule changes. You can watch his full update to the Court at the link below. Click on Item 16 in the video index to jump directly to that portion of the meeting:

I appreciate the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District Board and staff for the time and careful consideration they put into these changes. This is an important step toward balancing continued growth with the need to protect the groundwater that current and future Wise County residents depend on.
