EDINBURG – In its ongoing effort to mitigate flood problems and increase local
drainage capacity during major rain events, the Hidalgo County Drainage District
No. 1 is proposing a $195 million bond package during the upcoming May 6 election.
The bond package would have ZERO impact on the district’s tax rate.
“We have been aggressively improving drainage infrastructure throughout the
County,” said Raul E. Sesin, PE, CFM District General Manager of Hidalgo County
Drainage District No. 1. “With proper funding in place, the District is able to
accelerate projects more rapidly to completion.”
The bond package will have no impact on Hidalgo County Drainage District No. l’s
tax rate due to a combination of aggressively and responsibly managing the pay down
of current debt while paying off previous bond debt.
The Drainage District has identified 26 major projects which primarily focus on
expansion of HCDD1 main drains that would increase capacity and upgrade
infrastructure in our drainage system. (See attachment).
Early voting for the election runs from April 24 through May 2 and election day is set
for Saturday, May 6.
