The well district changes in southeast Caldwell County

The county line does not settle the well rules. Plum Creek Conservation District covers much of Caldwell County. Gonzales County UWCD covers about 72,767 acres in the southeast, near Delhi and Taylorsville.

Plum Creek says each well in its district must be registered or permitted. Gonzales County UWCD has a well form too. It requires a production permit when a well will pump more than 25,000 gallons per day. That limit is not one countywide rule.

The district map shows which office covers the tract. That office can say whether an old well is on file and what a new or larger well would need.
