AUSTIN – (December 13, 2018) – The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) today approved by resolution financial assistance in the amount of $3.3 million from the Texas Water Development Fund (TWDF) to the Moffat Water Supply Corporation (Bell County). The Corporation will use the assistance to finance the planning, acquisition, design, and construction costs associated with water system improvements.

The Corporation could save approximately $344,000 over the life of the loan by using TWDF.
