Description
The DISTRICT is located in the lower RIO grande valley in the southernmost corner of texas on the border with mexico. The DISTRICT pumps water from the RIO grande river to supply water to the cities of LA feria and santa rosa, sebastian municipal utility DISTRICT, colonias, and farmers. This area has suffered from ongoing drought and reductions in RIO grande river diversions due to historically low water supplies. The DISTRICT will work with farmers and municipal system customers to develop a water strategy to identify projects to improve water management, identify alternative water supplies, and expand conservation practices. Through this planning effort, the DISTRICT will develop information and analyses critical to improving water management, including environmental reviews, drone imagery, GIS mapping, a drainage study, population projections, and a water rate study to evaluate options to support future infrastructure improvements.
