Houston, TX Water Projects Get Funding
The Texas Water Development Board has awarded a total of $50 million to two Houston, TX area water authorities for water supply projects.
The Coastal Water Authority is to receive $28 million for a water conveyance system that will transfer up to 448,000 acre-feet per year of raw water from the Trinity River Basin to the San Jacinto River Basin in the Houston area.
Meanwhile, the Central Harris County Regional Water Authority is to get the remaining $22 million for the construction and installation of a series of surface water transmission lines, so as to participate in a re-pumping station to be built by the North Harris County Regional Water Authority, as well as for the construction of a secondary surface water transmission system to its member districts.
These projects should provide Houston's water requirements to 2060, as reported by the Houston Business Journal.
