Congressman Greg Casar presented the City of Kyle and Travis County with almost $2 million on Thursday as part of the Reclaimed Water Master Plan to help improve water services for residents living in both areas.
Casar was joined by local elected officials and leaders as he gave Travis County $1 million and the City of Kyle a federal investment of $959,752.The funding will be used for installing additional water pumps at the wastewater treatment plant, installing a ground storage tank, and extending existing water lines. These additions will help the City of Kyle access reclaimed water for public use, including subdivisions, park areas, school yards, and other spaces as well as expanding the reclaimed water system from the Plum Creek Golf Course North to Heroes Memorial Park. “We cannot ignore worse droughts, hotter summers, and fast population growth,” said Congressman Casar. “I’m working to make sure people in Hays County have clean and affordable water for generations to come. By reclaiming water, the City of Kyle is creating a ‘drought-proof’ water system — and I’m proud to support them with this funding.” Casar recognized the work of local governments as he presented the money and said this is just the beginning of investments into local communities. The money earmarked for Travis County will be used to bring clean water to residents in the Elroy area, as well as extend water service to fire hydrants.
