Hickory UWCD No. 1 reminds new land buyers to "make sure it's not dry"

Despite the fact that the Hickory UWCD No. 1 has been around since 1982, many people do not know who we are or what we do. Funded by your property taxes and created by a petition from local citizens, the District was created to protect and conserve the groundwater within the District boundary. That boundary includes all of Mason County, most of McCulloch and San Saba Counties, and small portions of Concho, Menard, and Kimble Counties.

Because of our mission, we collect data...a lot of data. Most of this information is available to the public on our website. Unfortunately, not many people utilize these resources. Too often we see new landowners after they have closed on a piece of property and learn too late that there is no groundwater accessible. The time to research is before you buy. Before you buy, make sure it’s not dry.

Our staff is more than happy to assist you. We offer an extensive list of services FREE to our taxpayers including water quality testing, measuring water levels, mapping (paper and on-line), and of course, information. Just reach out. WE WORK FOR YOU!
