District Formation

In 2005, the Texas Legislature created the District (see SPECIAL DISTRICT LOCAL LAWS CODE Chapter 8812 ) and the District was confirmed by 73 percent of the voters.

District Mission

The mission of the Victoria County Groundwater Conservation District (District) is to develop sound water conservation and management strategies designed to conserve, preserve, protect, and prevent waste of groundwater resources within Victoria County for the benefit of Victoria County's landowners, citizens, economy, and environment.

The District will implement these strategies through the acquisition and dissemination of hydrogeologic information, the development of programs and incentives to conserve and protect groundwater resources, and the adoption and enforcement of fair and appropriate District rules governing the production and use of the groundwater resources within the District.

Guiding Principles

The District recognizes that the groundwater resources of Victoria County and the region are of vital importance to the many users who are dependent on these valuable resources. In addition, the District recognizes that the landowners are the primary stewards of the groundwater resources associated with their properties. The District will work with interested parties, especially landowners, in Victoria County to conserve, preserve, protect, and prevent waste of this most valuable resource, for the benefit of the landowners, the public, the local economy, and the environment.

Management Plan

The District's Management Plan is intended to serve as a tool to focus the thoughts and actions of those given the responsibility for the execution of the District's activities as well as to provide information to District staff, landowners, and others responsible for the execution of, or compliance with, the District's policies and rules. The District will carry out its programs and responsibilities in implementing this Management Plan in a prudent and cost effective manner. The District, with public input, will adopt and enforce Rules necessary to implement this Management Plan.
