Well Water
A groundwater district regulates water wells in Burnet County
If you plan to drill a water well in Burnet County, you need to work with the local groundwater conservation district.
Much of Burnet County relies on groundwater. The county is served by a local groundwater conservation district. Groundwater districts in Texas can require permits before you drill a new well and may set rules on how much water you can pump. This matters for rural property buyers who plan to rely on a private well.
Before buying land that will need a well, ask whether the lot has an existing permitted well or whether you will need to apply for a new one. Contact the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) at twdb.texas.gov for district contact information, or search the TWDB groundwater district map to confirm the local district's rules and fees.
