It runs a dam holding program for recharge, completing dams in Comal, Bexar and Medina counties and planning over 40 more to add about 15,000 acre feet annually. The $861,000 budget includes 300,000 for Verde Creek and 370,000 for Seep Creek in Medina County. The district enforces water quality rules, licenses septic systems, publishes monitoring reports, and opposes urban development impacting recharge.
