Monitoring Update – October 1, 2025
Due to the temporary federal government shutdown, the USGS Bluntzer Monitoring Station will not be providing daily automated data until operations resume. While the station itself is automated, federal data reporting services are currently suspended.
The Nueces Groundwater Conservation District is actively working to ensure continued local monitoring. We have reached out to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to explore the possibility of obtaining temporary state-level monitoring equipment to maintain consistent data collection during this period.
Our team remains committed to transparency and ongoing observation of local water quality and flow conditions throughout this interruption.
