Midland County Utility District eyes Martin County groundwater source
The Midland County Utility District was drilling new water wells in 2025 to supply its developing water system. The district is now exploring a groundwater source in Martin County that could provide approximately 6.3 million gallons per day, but it is not disclosing the supplier’s name or the well field’s location.
The Midland County Utility District is exploring a potential agreement to obtain millions of gallons of groundwater per day from Martin County, raising questions about how the proposed withdrawals could affect existing water users.
MCUD announced Tuesday, Oct. 13, that it has signed a letter of intent with an unidentified supplier to explore a new water source in Martin County.
