    Historical Notes:
    Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) provides water for industry, agriculture, and municipalities in Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Galveston County.  This includes more than 185,000 customers in Galveston County alone.
    You can trace the beginnings of the Gulf Coast Water Authority (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.  In the early 1930s, additional pump stations and relift stations on the system were added as well as extensions to the canal system, eventually running through Brazoria County and reaching into Galveston County.  In 1940, the
    Briscoe Irrigation System
    consisting of an additional pump station on the Brazos and more canals were established.   These two original systems were purchased by the Brazos River Authority in 1966 and 1967.  In 1988, GCWA bought the Canal Division from the Brazos River Authority. This allowed the GCWA to provide water supply for industry, irrigation, and municipal use in what ultimately became the three-county area of Brazoria, southern Fort Bend, and Galveston.   In 2006, GCWA purchased the Chocolate Bayou Water Company, aka Juliff Canal System, which included another pump station on the Brazos River as well as pump stations on three bayous in Brazoria County: Chocolate, Mustang and Halls.
    ...... and there is much more to the GCWA history.....
