Brownsville Irrigation District

The Board of Directors held its first meeting on August 13, 1919 and its first bonds were sold on March 1, 1920. The District was reorganized several times and on May 18, 2000, the District obtained approval from the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission, now the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to change its name to Brownsville Irrigation District. The Districts primary operation is to provide irrigation and farmland drainage.

The District holds water rights from the State of Texas, administered by TCEQ.

In addition, TCEQ Certificate of Adjudication No. M843-000 authorizes the District the use of 3,834.000 acre-feet of water per year for municipal purposes.
