AUSTIN – (September 3, 2020) – The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) today approved by resolution financial assistance in the amount of a $4,130,000 loan from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to the City of Brady (McCulloch County). The City will use the assistance to finance construction costs associated with wastewater system improvements.

The City could save approximately $1,162,000 over the life of the loan by using the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

With the assistance approved today, the City will complete the construction phase of its wastewater treatment plant replacement project.
