Relating to production fees imposed by the Southwestern Travis County Groundwater Conservation District; authorizing an increase in the rate of the fee.

SB 1720 changes the maximum fee rate for groundwater withdrawals in the Southwestern Travis County Groundwater Conservation District. It reduces the current cap from $0.50 to $0.20 per thousand gallons of water withdrawn from wells (excluding exempt wells). This bill directly affects well owners in the district who pay production fees for water use. The key provision amends the district's authority under state law to set these fees, effective September 1, 2025. The bill does not increase fees as the title suggests but lowers the maximum allowable rate.
