| HISTORY AND PURPOSE |
History of the LWGCD
The Lone Wolf Groundwater Conservation District (LWGCD) was created as a temporary district
with the passage of SB 1911 by the 76th Texas Legislature. The District, as described in Section 4
of the LWGCD Rules, enrolled or “grandfathered” all existing wells into the District for which
landowners or well operators completed and returned enrollment forms to the District during the
specified 3-month enrollment period. The District mailed information to all Mitchell County
property owners to notify them of the enrollment period. The district received more the 2,000
water well enrollment forms during the enrollment period.
The passage of SB 2 and HB 2529 by the 77th Texas Legislature allowed for the permanent
creation of the District. The voters within the District formally authorized the LWGCD on February
2, 2002 through the required confirmation election. The voters also approved a property tax rate
not to exceed 3 cents per $100 valuation to fund the activities of the District.
