District Rules require all wells in Gillespie County used for commercial, irrigation, municipal, public water supply, inclusive of wells used in landscape irrigation on greater than ½ acre and attached to an irrigation system, be permitted with the District prior to drilling or operation. The District does allow the well to be drilled first as a registered well that is solely used for domestic or livestock purposes until the permit application is submitted, and reviewed by the board. However, you must make sure the well meets the setback and spacing requirements for a permitted well.  To ensure compliance, please contact our office first prior to drilling the well.

Within sixty (60) days after the General Manager has determined the application is administratively complete it will be placed as an agenda item at a board meeting date when the application will be reviewed and acted upon by the board.  Board meeting dates are subject to change. Please click on the appropriate form below. 

Please note it is a violation of District Rules for a well owner, well operator, or water well driller to drill any well without the approved form filed with the District.
