WEST TEXAS - The continuing drought is putting pressure on west Texans to seek alternative sources of water but deciding on a solution can be a daunting task. That's the expertise of the Water Quest Incorporated team. Water Quest has been in operation for 6 months now and they've already been extremely successful in providing water project aid. They say mainly because they're a non-profit.
It's a useful service and it's available for all west Texans.
"Basically a free consultation a free hydro-geologic evaluation of any potential projects that they may wish to consider," said Darrell Peckham, Hydro-Geologist, Water Quest, Inc.
So far, municipalities, business owners and even private citizens have taken advantage of water quest and it's team of experts. From scientific data for large-scale water projects to answering simple conservation questions, Water Quest is here for you and most importantly, the service is free of charge.
"We are free to the Permian Basin which includes everybody, Water Quest is really a very unique situation in that it is a nonprofit assisting looking for water supplies," said Peckham.
Peckham says because water quest is a non-profit it removes any financial barriers and agendas.
"That puts us in the position of being an advocate for water for water development and we're not coming in with any kind of profit motive," said Peckham.
And Peckham says, this free service is rare as water in the desert.
"It's the opportunity to tap into 27 years of hydro-geologic experience within Texas and specifically west Texas," said Peckham.
Water Quest is free-resource available for anyone in the Permian Basin. You contact them at (432) 580-5722.
