Groundwater Use Fees: For the past two years we have become more and more aware of the immediacy of need to regulate the amount of groundwater withdrawn in Montgomery County.  At the same time, we are recognizing how comparatively little information is available about the aquifer system itself.  The cost of water in the future dictates that we spend more effort understanding the science of the aquifer in order that our community be able to depend on a readily available supply at a reasonable price.  Consequently, for the first time since its inception, the GCD opted to increase its permit fees.  These fees will be used to improve the communication with our customer base, to expand our investigations and joint cooperation with state and Federal agencies to learn about the aquifer, and to assist in implementing the longer term solutions for water in the county.
