Wells are monitored monthly and data collected is uploaded to the District’s website for the public’s review

As of December 17, 2014, the District continues to be within drought stage Critical. To permit holders, 30% curtailment in their production is required.
Domestic and Agricultural wells are exempt from District production curtailments, but are encouraged to reduce during drought times.

The District uses three drought triggers: The Pedernales River, the Blanco River and the Palmer Drought Severity Index
To move back to drought stage Alarm, the two rivers must flow for 60 consecutive days above the drought stage trigger.
Also reviewed are the drought conditions indicated within the Palmer Drought Severity Index for our area.
