The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504), awarded a $986,750 Project Grant to the Laguna Madre Water District. The funding will support a feasibility study to assess the development of a seawater desalination water treatment facility. This facility could significantly reduce the water district's reliance on the Rio Grande and accommodate increasing water demands in the Cameron County community, while ensuring population growth does not adversely impact the region. The project period spans from Apr 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026.
