The Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 awarded an $89.5 million Formula Grant to the Texas Water Development Board under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA #66.458) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2026.
The grant funding will be used to provide low-interest loans and principal forgiveness to numerous subrecipients for planning, design, and construction costs associated with eligible clean water projects. Subrecipients include the City of Garrison, which will receive funding to plan, acquire land for, and design a new $0.24 million gallon per day wastewater treatment oxidation ditch plant to replace its aging $0.12 million gallon facility, and the San Leon Municipal Utility District, which will use its subaward to replace undersized water lines, construct a new pump station, rehabilitate an existing pump station, and improve its supervisory control and data acquisition and emergency preparedness capabilities. The grant aims to improve water quality and help ensure clean, safe and reliable water infrastructure for Texas communities.
