SUMMARY: Aqua Texas, Inc. has filed a federal lawsuit against the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District in Hays County, Texas, citing ongoing permitting issues and alleged overproduction of groundwater. The district claims Aqua Texas over-pumped almost 90 million gallons of water in 2022, resulting in a nearly $449,000 fine. Aqua Texas, however, argues that a moratorium on permitting new wells means the company won't be able to minimize its reliance on the ecologically sensitive Jacob's Well zone. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief to receive permitting for new wells, forgiveness of the penalty, and compensatory damages. The district has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
