Well Drilling Companies in Athens, TX

Athens is the seat of Henderson County, which sits over the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, the East Texas groundwater source at the center of a 2025 dispute the Texas Tribune reported on: investor Kyle Bass's Conservation Equity Management, through an entity called Pine Bliss, assembled 4,100 acres in the county (part of an 11,000-acre East Texas holding spanning Henderson, Anderson, and Houston counties) with plans to drill more than 40 high-capacity wells and pump aquifer water out of the region.
