The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.

Thirty years ago, some very rare species made a BIG splash. 🦎💧
This World Animal Day, we’re celebrating the endangered species that helped inspire the creation of the Edwards Aquifer Authority 30 years ago, including the iconic Texas blind salamander, a remarkable creature found ...nowhere else in the world.
Their story reminds us that protecting the Edwards Aquifer means protecting an entire ecosystem, from its unique wildlife and spring-fed habitats to the clean, reliable water millions of South Central Texans depend on every day. Happy World Animal Day! 🦎🐾💧

🌧️ Rain is on the way—are you ready to catch it? 💧
With rain in the forecast for South Central Texas, it’s a great time to think about rainwater harvesting!
Rain barrels and other collection systems can capture water from your roof and save it for another day. That ...stored rainwater can later be used for your lawn, garden, and native plants—helping reduce the need for additional water outdoors. 🌱
Before the rain arrives:
💧 Check and clean your gutters
💧 Make sure your rain barrel or collection system is ready
💧 Direct overflow away from your home
💧 Keep your system covered to help prevent mosquitoes
Every rainfall is an opportunity to think differently about how we use and conserve water.
Catch the rain. Save it for later. Every drop counts. 💙
