SB 1611 revises the fee structure for the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District. The bill allows the district to assess production fees on groundwater usage and export fees for water transported out of the district. It limits production fees for agricultural use to 20% of the municipal rate and sets specific per-gallon fees for different types of water use. Additionally, it validates all mitigation payments and fees assessed before the bill’s effective date, ensuring compliance with existing water management policies​.
