Dallas, TX - The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency recently awarded $578,300 to the Brazos River Authority
for the West Fort Bend County Regional Drinking Water Plant. West Fort
Bend County uses groundwater for its drinking water supply. Due to
groundwater use, this area is experiencing severe subsidence of soils. As
a result, the Fort Bend County Subsidence District is requiring the area
to convert from the use of groundwater to surface water. The Brazos River
Authority will use the grant for continued surface water conversion
efforts.
