Two candidates and current board members of the Central Texas Groundwater Conservation District (CTGCD) Board of Directors will hold their seats for another four years after running unopposed for the upcoming Nov. 3 general election.

Precinct 2 Director Ryan Rowney and Precinct 4 Director Ricky Bindseil were certified during a board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 15, as unopposed candidates for their respective seats. No other candidates filed to run before the Aug. 17 deadline.

The two directors will begin serving their new four-year terms the day after the Nov. 3 election.

Rowney and Bindseil serve as the board president and vice president, respectively, and have been members since being elected in 2018. As per CTGCD guidelines, directors may serve consecutive terms.

The board of directors consists of five elected members and is responsible for regulating groundwater usage in Burnet County.

In conjunction with the district’s full-time general manager, geologist, and office manager, the district reviews permits to build and operate groundwater wells, determines the county’s drought stage, and creates management zones regulating well access in different aquifers in the area.
