On Episode 51 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we're joined by TID Civil Engineering Department Manager, Phil Govea, to discuss the modernization of our irrigation system.
TID’s irrigation system was built in the late-1890s and operates in much the same way as it was originally designed—flowing by gravity from La Grange Dam to and throughout our service territory.
TID cares for our 130 year-old system through rigorous annual maintenance. However, regulatory mandates, more frequent extreme weather events, and changing customer expectations, requires that the District continue to update and modernize the irrigation system to meet today’s needs and to be ready for the future.
On this episode we discuss how TID’s irrigation system works, what improvements have been made to the system over the years, and the long term plans for the system.
