Its service network delivers about 200 million gallons per day through a system that includes river pump stations, canals, pipelines, a large reservoir, and a central water treatment plant that serves most of Galveston County. The organization draws its water from the Brazos River under long-term rights and stored-water contracts with the Brazos River Authority, enabling releases during droughts to bolster reliability. GCWA’s customer base exceeds 185,000, with a focus on supporting industry, agriculture, and municipalities with dependable, quality water, while pursuing water conservation and drought resilience planning. Based in Texas City, GCWA traces its roots to early 20th-century irrigation efforts and was established as a wholesale water supplier by the Texas Legislature in 1965. A recent development includes securing federal funds aimed at enhancing its water availability models to improve planning and resilience.
