Houston Receives $47 Million to Address Brays Bayou Flooding
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has approved more than $47 million in financial assistance from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to the city of Houston. The city will use the assistance to finance design and construction costs associated with a stormwater management project to address flooding in the Brays Bayou watershed.
Once completed, the project will increase the capacity of the bayou to move stormwater through it, and is part of a larger project that involves channel widening and detention basin construction to reduce the flooding impacts across the entire watershed.
The TWDB administers cost-effective financial assistance programs for the construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.
