Texas Rejects Bond for Water Conservation
<< back to releases
Texas voters have rejected a proposition to promote water conservation. Proposition 2 would have let the state create a revolving $6 billion bond package to finance water conservation and sewage and flood control projects.
Supporters, including the Nature Conservancy and people in the energy industry, said more bonding authority for the Texas Water Development Board is needed to update water utilities and to pay for the state water plan.
