U.S. Representative Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a Rural Development grant of $484,000 to the East Rio Hondo Water Supply Corporation.
“These USDA resources will allow East Rio Hondo Water Supply Corporation to continue enhancing water systems in South Texas,” said U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela. “I commend ERHWSC for their efforts to provide quality water to rural areas in the Rio Grande Valley.”
