Williamson County has been awarded up to $1,000,000 in TWDB grant funding to support the planning, purchase, and installation of outdoor flood warning sirens and related equipment in flash flood–prone areas of the County.

Approval of this item authorizes Williamson County to enter into a grant agreement with the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and accept up to $1,000,000 in state grant funds. The agreement allows the County to submit project plans for eligible flood warning siren projects, including coordination with municipalities where appropriate. There is no local match requirement. Grant funds are disbursed through approved project plans. TWDB is administering the program pursuant to Senate Bill 3 and Senate Bill 5 and has issued the grant agreement to Williamson County (TWDB Commitment No. 2691103043).
