Water Conservation Grant Project – City of West University Place

The Harris-Galveston Subsidence District’s (HGSD) Water Conservation Grant Program will award the City of West University Place (COWUP) with up to $59,025 in grant funds to replace 19 irrigation systems with EPA WaterSense-labeled smart systems. These new systems will allow for efficient and effective irrigation throughout the city parks, buildings, and medians saving an estimated 35% of annual water use.

The COWUP will implement smart irrigation systems with innovative features including a flow sensor that can detect leaks, immediately notify the appropriate contact and automatically shut off to prevent water loss. “Sustainability is a huge goal of ours, we want to be an example for our residents and other parks and recreation agencies,” said Susan White, COWUP Director of Parks & Recreation.

HGSD is excited to partner with COWUP for this water conservation project and will share more information upon the project’s completion.
