The Harlingen Irrigation District, also known as HIDCC1, is a well-established organization that has been providing drainage, flood control, and water supply services to Cameron County in Texas since its establishment in 1914. Covering an area of 88.3 square miles, the district serves approximately 38,000 acres of irrigated land and operates a comprehensive water supply system consisting of canals, pipelines, reservoirs, and pumping stations.
With a rich history dating back to the 1920s, the district diverts water from the Rio Grande near Los Indios and holds a Certificate of Adjudication for 39,574 acres of Class A irrigation water rights. In addition to its primary function of irrigation, HIDCC1 also holds municipal water rights and provides water for domestic and municipal use, including the City of Harlingen. Committed to financial transparency, the district operates within a budget of $3.5 million and has been debt-free since 1989.
