Texas Reports


MSD Report

A requirement of the MSD (Municipal Setting Designation) application is to identify and notify all well owners within a 5-mile radius of the applicant’s site. ERIS conducts research to gather water well information and current owner data to fulfill this notification procedure.

The ERIS MSD report includes:

  • 5-mile water well report
  • ½ mile water well report
  • Water Utility Database (WUD) report
  • Copies of driller logs
  • Mail merge spreadsheet with all current water well owners
  • Interactive map in Xplorer

An MSD is an official state designation given to property within a municipality or its extraterritorial jurisdiction that certifies that designated groundwater at the property is not used as potable water and is prohibited from future use as potable water because that groundwater is contaminated more than the applicable potable-water protective concentration level. (TCEQ 2008)
