Water District Proposes Rules
Changes
The Board of Directors of the Glasscock County Underground Water Conservation District voted March 21 to conduct a public hearing to amend the district’s rules and bylaws. The hearing will probably be held within the next two or three months. Possibly the most important of the proposed changes will replace the current water transportation rule with a new one that requires an environmental impact study and a drought contingency plan before transporting water out of the district.
Copies of the proposed changes are available at the water district office.
The board discussed some personnel changes which have recently taken place within the West Texas Weather Modification Association. Director Dennis Seidenberger was optimistic about the organization, saying, “The weather modification program is in better shape now than ever. It’s coming together now.”
The board changed the district’s office hours to 8-12 and 1- 4, Monday through Friday. District Manager Rick Harston had requested the change, saying that most of the office’s business comes early in the morning, and there is little business after 4 p.m.
Darren Hillger and Keith
Batla attended the meeting to thank the board for sending them to a water
camp last summer. They reviewed their camp experiences for the board and
showed photos of some of their activities.
