The approved project is eligible for FIF funding under category 2 of the 2020 Flood Intended Use Plan. This category was designated for planning, acquisition, design, and construction activities to implement flood mitigation projects.
Passed by the 86th Texas Legislature and approved by voters through a constitutional amendment in 2019, FIF was created to provide funding for drainage, flood mitigation, and flood control projects.
Another approved by resolution financial assistance from the Texas Water Development Fund to the Greater Texoma Utility Authority on behalf of the City of Henrietta (Clay County). The city will use the assistance to finance the planning, design, and construction of wastewater system improvements.
With the financial assistance approved today, the city proposes to decommission the two existing wastewater treatment plants and construct a new plant. The consolidation to a new plant also requires the construction of new sewer lines and two lift stations to interconnect the two collection systems.
