Brazos River Authority
The Brazos River Authority was created by the Texas Legislature in 1929 as the first government entity in the United States created specifically for the purpose of developing and managing the water resources of an entire river basin. Today, the BRA's staff of more than 250 develop and distribute water supplies, provide water and wastewater treatment, monitor water quality, and pursue water conservation through public education programs. The Brazos River Authority is entirely self-supporting, except for occasional governmental grants to help pay the costs of specific projects. The BRA does not levy or collect taxes; rather maintains and operates reservoirs and treatment systems using revenues from the customers it serves.

And so part of our role is having great relationships with Williamson County and their technical teams and their leadership teams with TCQ for their regulatory teams and their leadership teams with TxDOT, similar, their technical teams and leadership teams.
Jacob WalkerGUEST
And then, you know, our Water provider for the city of Taylor is the Brazos River Authority and they have technical teams and leadership teams.
Jacob WalkerGUEST
And so they're our first call, right? Hey, BRA, we have this demand.
Jacob WalkerGUEST
It's abnormal.
Jacob WalkerGUEST

Daniel SeguinHOST
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Daniel SeguinHOST
Well, I think one of the things that's on most people's minds about infrastructure in town is do we have enough water? Do we have enough wastewater? Are these large industrial developments like Samsung or a data center or other types of facilities going to just gobble up all of our resources and mean that we're on drought watch every year or twice a year? I guess, do we have enough water, Jacob?
Jacob WalkerGUEST
Yeah, and I think the Brazos River Authority came, well, I know they came in the summer, I think it was in July, and gave a presentation to talk about their long-range plan.
Kyle ClarkGUEST
So up there we're in good shape.
Jeff StanfieldHOST
So it's like, I'm just gonna just throw this out there, Po- Possum Kingdom, 'cause I'm probably, I don't think there's much hunting on Possum King- the Brazos River Authority k- maintains all of that.
Kyle ClarkGUEST

Jeff StanfieldHOST
And I, and I think all of that system all the way down to Granbury is all under the same water sy- all the way probably to think, probably the Colorado River.
