groundwater trust offers additional incentive for municipal & industrial (M&I) permit holders During non-forbearance years, permit holders are still required to pay Aquifer Management fees on the water they mantain. M&I permit holders pay an $84 per acree foot fee, so the ASR program payment of $100 per acre foot will more than offset the permit fees. But, if the M&I permit holder chooses to put their water in the EAA’s Groundwater Trust, the Aquifer Management fees are waived. That means the permit holder can make the $100 per acre foot payment for each acre foot entrolled in the Groundwater Trust and ASR program at the same time.

If you would like to have your ASR agreement fully executed and be paid by March of 2019, your enrollment form must be submitted no later than November 1, 2018. Call Javier Hernandez ar 210-222-2204, ext. 139, or email him at jhernandez@edwardsaquifer.org if you have any questions about the ASR Program.
