The Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1 debris removal, shredding & mowing maintenance program is active all year. The goal of this program is to prevent drainage system blockage, or "clogs" which could potentially cause flooding in surrounding areas, and allow for storm water runoff to flow efficiently during rain events.
Shredding and mowing maintenance is presently upholding 601.13 miles of channels, which 285.42 miles are district owned or easement ditches and the other 315.71 miles are from local irrigation districts. Our maintenance schedule runs on an average of 8 - 12 months cycle year round.
