Hays County’s new grant-funded flood warning system is to be completed this summer and begin improving research and emergency services during one of the county’s biggest threats – flooding.
On Oct. 30 of last year, Hays County commissioners approved a project that would involve paying for half of the cost of four flood warning systems across the county. The other half of the project was covered by a $142,000 Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) grant. The county matched TWDB’s grant amount.
