The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) is seeking public input to assist in implementing the Texas Water Fund, a special fund in the state treasury outside the general revenue fund to be administered by the TWDB.
The TWDB is seeking stakeholder input via three surveys:
- Texas Water Fund Survey 1: Financial Assistance for Water Infrastructure Projects
- Texas Water Fund Survey 2: New Water Supply Fund for Texas
- Texas Water Fund Survey 3: Statewide Water Public Awareness Program
The information requested in these surveys is intended to solicit general and specific feedback that will inform formal rulemaking and other implementation efforts. Written feedback may also be submitted to TexasWaterFund@twdb.texas.gov. Information provided in the surveys or submitted via email is requested by April 30.
In addition to the surveys, TWDB is inviting public comment on the Texas Water Fund at board meetings through March and will provide information at financial assistance workshops around the state. Stakeholder meetings will also be held in March (Austin) and in Lubbock (April). See the Proposition 6 and Texas Water Fund Frequently Asked Questions and Implementation Timeline for details as they become available.
