The city of Buda may be able to pass water through the Edwards Aquifer and into the Middle Trinity for storage if the Texas Legislature passes a bill that eases restrictions relating to Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR).
House Bill (HB) 3333, authored by State Rep. Jason Isaac (R-Dripping Springs), allows the TCEQ to authorize an injection well that transects the Edwards Aquifer within the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (BSEACD).
The bill could ultimately allow Buda to store treated water for later use in the Middle Trinity Aquifer.
