TWDB Accepting Flood Protection Grant Requests

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has issued a request for applications for grants that would pay for flood protection systems. The funding could go toward early warning systems, implementation of strategies for alerting and responding to floods or flood protection planning.

 

The TWDB has made available up to $2 million for Fiscal Year 2016. Applicants must be participating in or applying to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. The grants may cover no more than 50 percent of the total costs of the projects. However, economically disadvantaged areas may receive up to 75 percent.

 

Applications are due by June 17.

 

The water board also approved more than $14 million in funding this week. The Memorial Point Utility District in Polk County received $2 million for a new wastewater treatment plant, and the city of Weatherford was awarded $12.8 million to pay for a reclaimed water system.
