The Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District has announced the recipients of its 2026 Rainwater Harvesting Grant Program: the Central Community Volunteer Fire Department in Weatherford, the City of New Fairview and Montague County Precinct 4 in Saint Jo.
Together, the three projects will add an estimated 115,000 gallons of rainwater storage with the capacity to collect more than 1 million gallons of rainfall annually.
