West Texas Irrigation Association
What does the WTIA do?
The West Texas Irrigation Association works to improve the irrigation industry and associated activities in the west Texas area. We also work to provide advocacy and training for licensed irrigators, vendors, and other service providers associated with the irrigation industry.
In addition to these activities, we strive to assist the homeowner in following all
municipal codes when hiring irrigation contractors and completing projects. We offer our members an environment where they can network with other members, maintain their legal status, and make meaningful contributions to their industry. We've recently revamped our website, so take a look around. Whether you're a homeowner, irrigation professional, vendor, or just an interested party - there's something here for you!
The West Texas Irrigation Association is a Texas non-profit corporation. Irrigation in Texas is regulated by the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, PO Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087.
