Texas Water Crisis: Where Is the Money Going? | Larry French Testifies Before the Texas Senate

TPPF’s Larry French, formerly of the Texas Water Development Board, breaks down how Texas’s largest water utilities are losing over 500,000 acre-feet of water annually — and how city general fund transfers may be diverting just as much money away from critical infrastructure repairs as the leaks themselves.

With $3.6 billion in water loss mitigation projects on the table and the Texas Water Fund in play, French argues that smarter financial policy could go a long way before new water supplies are even needed.
