Efforts to address water scarcity are underway in Brownsville. A new initiative aims to make better use of available resources. Treated wastewater will be reused to supplement the water supply.

The project involves diverting wastewater effluent into a local waterway. From there, it will be captured and integrated into the raw water intake. This approach is intended to increase efficiency in water use.

Further details about the initiative, including its implementation and goals, are available from the Brownsville Public Utilities Board.
