The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) approved $7.7 million to improve water systems in this state that includes $1.5 million for upgrading water systems in rural areas. TWDB officials approved $3 million from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to assist the city of Bandera.

The city will use the assistance to finance the planning, acquisition, design and construction phases of a water system improvement project. The city will replace a ground storage tank, an elevated storage tank and will install high-service pumps.

The project will help the city to increase its pumping capacity.

San Marcos received a $1.9 million loan and more than $1.2 million in loan forgiveness from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. City officials will use the funding for acquiring, designing and building a project to help prevent non-point source pollution to improve water quality in the Edwards Aquifer, that provides water for many in that area.

The Lake Amanda Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 in Tyler County received $1.5 million from the Texas Water Development Fund. The District will finance the restoration and rebuilding of the Lake Amanda Dam that was damaged from flooding that occurred in May 2016.
