About this organization
Mission
Trinity Edwards Springs Protection Association (TESPA) protects the Trinity and Edwards aquifers, the springs that flow from this interconnected system, and the property rights of the landowners who depend on and wish to conserve this precious resource.
About
TESPA filed a motion for rehearing regarding the Needmore Water LLC permit requesting 289 million gallons of water per year for agricultural use, stating the use is excessive and unwarranted. We did this on behalf of private property owners who have no protection under this permit if groundwater wells are affected, and because groundwater pumping from our aquifers are already occurring at an unsustainable rate. TESPA, Hays County and several landowners are also fighting Electro Purification's (EP) groundwater permit application to withdraw almost a billion gallons of groundwater a year from the middle Trinity aquifer. The wells in specific portions of the middle Trinity aquifer will be drawn down as far as five miles out after 7 years, if this application is approved. TESPA announced its Trinity Aquifer Protection Plan, including legal efforts in the above cases, advocating for sustainable/safe management of the Trinity aquifer and launching a community-based groundwater monitoring network.
