Bill Summary

Relating to financial assistance provided and programs administered by the Texas Water Development Board.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Water Code to create the New Water Supply for Texas Fund, which the Texas Water Development Board can use to provide financial assistance for projects that will lead to seven million acre-feet of new water supplies by 2033, such as desalination, produced water treatment, and aquifer storage and recovery projects. The bill also establishes the Texas Water Fund to allow the board to transfer money to various other water-related funds and accounts, and requires the board to provide technical assistance to retail public utilities for water audits and loss mitigation. Additionally, the bill transfers and redesignates the existing statewide water public awareness program to the board and creates a dedicated account for it.
