Texas voters will decide in November whether to approve $20 billion in sales tax funding for water infrastructure.
Texas voters will decide in November whether to approve Proposition 4, a constitutional amendment that would dedicate $20 billion in existing sales tax revenues to water infrastructure, addressing shortages from population growth and aging systems.
The funding, which won bipartisan support, aims to support reservoirs, pipelines, and other projects, with officials warning water supply could fall short by the 2030s.
While the amount is less than the estimated $150 billion needed long-term, supporters say it could leverage additional investment.
The Gulf Coast Water Authority is also studying desalination, with a potential plant in Texas City within five years.
Critics question accountability and fund use.
Early voting ends October 31.
