Cross Timbers Aquifer finalized; UTGCD to adopt DFCs on Dec. 18
A special Dec. 18 called meeting of the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District Board of Directors will consider the Desired Future Conditions prepared by the Groundwater Management Area 8, which includes the four-county district.
The meeting will begin at 4:45 p.m. Monday at the district office located at 1250 E. State Highway 199 in Springtown.
The UTGCD includes Montague, Wise, Parker and Hood Counties and was established in 2007 to manage the groundwater resources in those counties through the Texas Water Plan. It is one of 11 groundwater districts located all or partially in GMA 8.
This meeting comes on the heels of the Texas Water Development Board approving the groundwater district’s request to designate the four Paleozoic Aquifers: Wichita, Cisco-Bowie, Canyon and Strawn be designated collectively as one minor aquifer.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
