As Ogallala Aquifer water levels decline, more landowners are expressing interest in the water quality and quantity of the Dockum Aquifer within the HPWD service area.
The Dockum Aquifer Partnership Program is a way for HPWD to partner with constituents on new well projects while lessening research costs.
HPWD is now soliciting applications for grant funding under the program. Eligible expenses include cost of drilling, logging, and/or completing a new well into the Dockum Aquifer. Other expenses may also be eligible.
Funding of projects is on an application by application basis. Each application will be reviewed and negotiated by the General Manager before it is submitted to the HPWD Board of Directors for consideration.
