  • The border city of Laredo, Texas, is getting an infusion of $20 million to help its troubled water infrastructure system, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar announced.

The city of Laredo, Texas, is set to receive $20 million in federal funds to upgrade its aging water infrastructure. This funding, part of a larger $5.8 billion investment from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, aims to address critical issues like water loss due to leaks, which currently stands at 30% to 40% of the city's water supply. The improvements will focus on replacing old, brittle pipes and enhancing the overall water system to ensure better service and sustainability. This initiative not only seeks to reduce water wastage but also to bolster the city's capacity to manage future water demands effectively.
