Weslaco applies for $16 million grant to fix leaking water reservoir
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Weslaco city officials have submitted a $16 million grant application to repair a leaking water storage reservoir. City Engineer Peter Hermida explained that the reservoir's bottom has deteriorated over time, leading to daily water loss as the ground absorbs it. The original clay liner has eroded, exacerbating the issue. Local leaders are optimistic that the repair costs will not burden taxpayers. The grant application is now under review by the Texas Water Development Board.
