Existing Well Registration
All existing wells in Southwestern Travis County GCD must be registered with the District.
Is your well in our District?
Please visit the interactive map on the Texas Alliance of Groundwater Districts (TAGD) GCD Index to determine if your well is located within SWTCGCD jurisdiction.
Well owners in the BSEACD should register wells here.
Well owners in the HTGCD should register wells here.
Well owners in the BPGCD should register wells here.
Well owners in the CTGCD should register wells here.
The registration process is free to existing well owners and helps protect their established groundwater use.
Registering your well is free and provides data needed to protect existing wells, make informed management decisions, and contact well owners to communicate important information about aquifer conditions, drought declarations, and proposed new wells in your area.
To register an existing well, use the online registration form at the link below or download a registration form here to submit via mail or email (additional instructions are provided on the form).
In addition to registering their wells, all owners/operators of existing groundwater wells in SWTCGCD must apply for a permit for any non-exempt well such as:
• Public Water Supply: retail or wholesale public water systems as defined by TCEQ
• Irrigation: golf courses, nurseries, wet/amenity ponds, large-scale landscaping
• Commercial/Non-profit Businesses: churches, schools, restaurants, convenience stores, event/lodging venues, office parks
• Agriculture: commercial crop production, commercial livestock operations, wildlife management
• Industry: manufacturing, quarries, mines, cement plants, processing facilities
District staff are available to meet with you prior to submission of your application. We highly encourage you to contact us to schedule a pre-application meeting—we're happy to discuss all requirements with you in advance.
