Post Oak Savannah Groundwater Conservation District (POSGCD) announced that the enrollment incentive for the Aquifer Conservancy Program (ACP) has increased to $25 per acre from the previous $10 per acre. This increase provides a great alternative for landowners to receive compensation related to their groundwater without leasing away their rights to that property.
This increase, coupled with an annual payment of $25 per acre each year for a 50-year commitment, would result in total payments of $250 per acre over just the first nine years.
“POSGCD President Ward Roddam called for a vote and we are thrilled to inform you that the board unanimously approved this increase, effective immediately as of Aug. 8. This means that any new landowners who choose to enroll in the ACP will be eligible for this higher incentive payment, which will be issued promptly after enrollment. This is an incredible opportunity for you to take advantage of this generous incentive,” said General manager Gary Westbrook.
The ACP ha s b e en designed to not only protect natural resources and support landowners in their conservation efforts. “By enrolling in the program, you will not only contribute to preserving our aquifers, receive financial benefi ts, and is an alternative to water leaving the district,” Westbrook added.
