The City's sole source of drinking water is pumped from the Edwards Aquifer. Water is secured from four operational wells. One of two inoperable wells is being utilized by the EAA for water quality monitoring. In addition, the City is drilling a water well into the Trinity Aquifer in order to diversify the City's water resources. The Trinity aquifer lies below the Edwards Aquifer along the northern part of our City. All Trinity aquifer regulatory authorities' boundaries end at Loop 1604, thus allowing the City to develop it's own conservation program and rules.
