Would LCRA consider providing funds to farmers to use existing or new groundwater wells?
Yes. LCRA would prefer to lease the production of existing or new wells from a landowner or group of landowners. This would enable landowners to maintain control of the groundwater permit and the well for their long-term benefit. When the project ended, the landowner would retain all rights to use the production from the wells. During the operation of the project, LCRA would operate the facilities and pay all operation and maintenance costs.
