Casar delivers money to improve eastern county water access
Friday, July 19, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
U.S. Rep. Greg Casar delivered a $1 million check for water infrastructure to Travis County on Thursday. The money will be used to bring water service to fire hydrants and clean drinking water to eastern Travis County in the FM 812 area. “All Travis County families deserve to have safe, reliable drinking water in their homes,” Travis County Judge Andy Brown said in a statement to the press. “Thanks to Congressman Greg Casar, we’re one step closer with this $1 million award to ensure no one has to drive to a water standpipe to fill up their water tanks and haul it home to their families for access. This grant will help fund the design and construction process for the FM 812 neighborhood.” The money comes through Community Project Funding, applied for through Casar’s office. It was approved by the federal government in March of this year.
