Aquifer district adjusts operations
Thursday, March 19, 2020 by Tai Moses
The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District has closed to the public until further notice in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to protect the public and staff members and stem the spread of the virus, the district has implemented a number of operational changes. Staff will work from home until at least April 17, and calls will be accepted remotely on weekdays between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The district “will otherwise continue to conduct business and continue to fulfill its mission to the best of its ability during these changed operations.”
