Reliably delivering water to customers in Brazoria, Fort Bend & Galveston counties
About us
Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) provides water for industry, agriculture, and municipalities in Brazoria, Fort Bend and Galveston counties. This includes more than 185,000 customers in Galveston County alone. You can trace the beginnings of GCWA back to 1908 with the creation of the Cane and Rice Belt Irrigation Company and construction of a pump station on the Brazos River for agricultural irrigation. In 1965 the Texas Legislature established GCWA as a special water district to be a wholesale water supplier to Texas City industries. Since then it has grown to serve dozens of municipal, industrial and agricultural customers with an extensive system that delivers 200 million gallons per day. That delivery system includes: - 3 river pump stations - 315 miles of canals - A 7,800-acre-foot reservoir - 35 miles of pipelines - A 57.6 million-gallon-a-day water treatment plant that provides drinking water to most of Galveston County GCWA’s source of water is the Brazos River, which runs 840 miles through Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. Our ability to take water out of the Brazos is allowed through perpetual water rights permitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and long-term stored water contracts with the Brazos River Authority (BRA). The BRA operates 11 storage reservoirs along the Brazos River. During times of low river flows, we are entitled to request release of our BRA stored water. This helps us to ensure a more reliable source of water during drought periods. GCWA is committed to deliver a reliable, cost-effective quantity and quality of water for our customers by maintaining our water deliver system, securing stored water contracts and promoting water conservation and drought resilience planning.

Samantha Stoughtenger Branson, Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) Project Manager, and Naveen Chillara, Senior Project Manager in the Water Resources Design Group, from Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) delivered a presentation at the Texas Water Conference last month! They shed light on the intricate challenges of constructing major water infrastructure in loose, permeable soils, particularly along the Brazos River. Their presentation wasn't just about problems – it was about solutions. From meticulously planning construction sequencing to tackling issues like bank stability, groundwater control, and potential scouring, they're pioneering innovative strategies that promise significant cost savings for the industry. By evaluating factors such as minimizing cofferdam limits, optimizing cofferdam service duration, incorporating structural anchoring features, and refining dewatering systems, they're setting a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in water infrastructure projects. This presentation marks just the beginning of an exciting journey. As the project evolves from design to construction, expect more insights, strategies, and success stories in the upcoming series on the Shannon Pumping Plant. Stay tuned for updates, and join us in shaping the future of water infrastructure! #TexasWaterConference #GCWA #FreeseAndNichols #WaterInfrastructure #Innovation
