About NTGCD

The Northern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District (District) was created in 2007 by the 80th Texas Legislature with the enactment of House Bill 4028 (Appendix A), which was codified as Chapter 8820 of the Texas Special District Local Laws Code. The District’s Rules and Management Plan provides the means to conserve, preserve, protect, and prevent waste of the groundwater resources of Tarrant County, Texas, and to promote recharge of the aquifers within Tarrant County.

The District’s Board of Directors consists of five members: one from each of the four precincts, appointed by the County Commissioners, and one member appointed at large by the County Judge.
