The Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year after being created by the 77th Texas Legislature in 2001.

How it works

LSGCD manages the groundwater in Montgomery County by preserving, conserving, and protecting the groundwater supplies, its website states. The district also oversees the Groundwater Management Area 14, created in 2005 during the 79th Texas Legislative Session. GMA 14 has five groundwater conservation districts, which represent 12 of the 20 counties, per officials.

"The district prioritizes the highest practicable production of your aquifers while mindfully balancing the protection of private property rights and conservation for present and future generations," the district states.
