AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Water Code to create a new "New Water Supply for Texas Fund" and a "Texas Water Fund" to be administered by the Texas Water Development Board. The New Water Supply for Texas Fund will provide low-interest loans to political subdivisions and wholesale water providers to develop new water supply projects, including acquiring water from other states, desalination, and produced water treatment. The Texas Water Fund can be used to disburse money to various other water funds and programs, and must prioritize funding for certain water infrastructure projects and conservation efforts. The bill also requires the Water Development Board to establish a program to provide technical assistance to retail public utilities for water audits and water loss mitigation.
