The Bandera City Council voted to authorize filing an application to the Texas Water Development Board seeking financial assistance for water system improvements, including water treatment plant upgrades, emergency power systems and water-main replacements. Staff told the council the application window closes July 31 and that the program permits applying for up to $10,000,000 with no local match required.
Council members discussed the importance of addressing recurring failures such as clay pipes and noted the application could cover multiple prioritized projects. One council member summarized the funding terms, saying, "This is 100% no match," and the council approved the resolution authorizing staff to file the application before the deadline. Staff said they would prioritize the list of water projects for the board if the city is awarded funds.
