Welcome - Upper Black Creek Ground Water Management District

Upper Black Squirrel Creek
Ground Water Management District.

It's not a UFO!

Residents of central El Paso County may notice an unusual sight in the skies in June, a low-altitude helicopter towing a large hexagonal frame flying over their area. Officials at the Upper Black Squirrel Creek Ground Water Management District (UBSCGWMD) say this unique equipment is simply part of a project to map groundwater aquifers and subsurface geology in the district.

Updates

Watch here for updates as the project progresses

May 31 The project has been delayed a few days, with the crew now arriving June 4^th and the helicopter arriving June 7^th. We are coordinating resources with other states on this project in order to save money. So a weather delay in another area creates a delay for us. The same will be true for other areas if we encounter a weather delay here.

Time: 6:00pm
Location:
Conference Room, Farmers State Bank
