The City of Grand Saline Pursues Critical Water Improvements
The City Council and City staff recognize the concerns of our citizens about water issues. Those concerns are not ignored. A lot of work is happening behind the scenes to find solutions, improve the system, and address long-standing water infrastructure needs for our community.
The City is currently working with engineers to pursue a new Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) grant opportunity that could provide up to $5 million for major water improvements, including a new water well, additional water storage, and replacement of aging water lines. This new grant program, created through House Bill 500, is expected to be fast moving, with applications due July 30 and funding decisions expected in September 2026.
The City has also applied for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), which is a separate program that helps cities finance water system improvements through low-interest loans and possible grant assistance.
The City remains committed to pursuing every available funding opportunity to strengthen infrastructure, increase reliability, and better serve our community both now and in the future.
