43. PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
FOR WATER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BONDS
Texas Water Development Board
Proposition 2
The constitutional amendment allowing for the issuance of additional general obligation bonds
by the Texas Water Development Board in an amount not to exceed $6 billion outstanding at
any time.
As the population of Texas continues to grow, so does its need for cost-effective water and
wastewater infrastructure. Through its funding programs, the Texas Water Development Board
(TWDB) provides financial assistance to communities for water and wastewater infrastructure
projects.
On November 8, 2011, Texans can vote on a constitutional amendment, Proposition 2, that will
help ensure the public health, water quality, and economic viability of Texas for years to come.
WHAT IS PROPOSITION 2?
Proposition 2 authorizes the TWDB to issue additional general obligation bonds in an amount
not to exceed $6 billion outstanding at any time for water-related projects. The TWDB will use
the bond proceeds to make loans to political subdivisions in Texas for a variety of water,
wastewater, and flood control projects.
Since 1957, the legislature and voters have approved constitutional amendments authorizing
the TWDB to issue up to $4.23 billion in bonds for financing water-related projects, of which
$3.29 billion has been issued. Of the amount issued, over $1 billion has been issued just in the
last three years. Without additional bonding authority, the TWDB will not be able to provide
adequate financing to meet the water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Texas. The
TWDB estimates that its existing bond authority will be exhausted within the next one to two
years. This proposition will provide the TWDB with the necessary constitutional authority to
meet the water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Texas.
WHAT IS THE TWDB?
The TWDB was created in 1957 in response to the severe drought of the 1950s. The TWDB is
the state agency authorized to issue and sell general obligation bonds to support financial
assistance programs for the planning, design, and construction of water supply, wastewater
treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control, flood control, and agricultural
water conservation projects.
1
44. WILL PROPOSITION 2 COST TAXPAYERS?
The only cost to the state will be the cost of the election. Repayment of the bonds will not
require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this bond authority to operate a
self-supporting loan program, which means that repayments on loans will pay for the bonds.
Entities that choose to use this funding opportunity to address their future water and
wastewater needs will repay the principal and interest on the loans they receive from the
TWDB. Those principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds. Because the
cost of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the TWDB funding to
pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan with revenue received
through use of the facility over time. Those persons benefiting from the projects will repay the
loans, and thus the bonds.
HOW WILL THESE BONDS BE USED?
The TWDB issues general obligation bonds and uses the proceeds to make water-related loans
to political subdivisions in Texas. The majority of TWDB loans are made for water and
wastewater projects, and funds may also be used for flood control projects. The loans provide
financial assistance needed to make facility repairs, improvements, and expansions, which may
include water towers, transmission lines and water wells. The loans also provide funds for
building new water supply and water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as flood
control projects.
In addition, the TWDB uses bond proceeds to meet the state's match requirements for federal
grants each year for the TWDB’s two State Revolving Fund Loan Programs—the Drinking Water
and Clean Water State Revolving Funds. The state revolving funds provide loans at interest
rates lower than those offered by traditional markets for financing water and wastewater
projects. In 2010, these grants totaled $179,380,000. If the TWDB is unable to provide the
required matches, it will be ineligible for the federal grants, and future federal grants will be
disbursed to other states.
WHO CAN RECEIVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM THE TWDB’S PROGRAMS?
The TWDB primarily provides loans to political subdivisions, such as cities, counties, districts,
river authorities, and also to nonprofit water supply corporations. Due to the state’s strong
credit rating, the TWDB can often issue debt at more cost-effective rates and then lend to
community borrowers who benefit from the lower interest rates available on the state’s bonds.
Borrowers who may be unable to access funds from traditional markets particularly benefit
from the TWDB’s financial assistance programs.
RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF BOND PROCEEDS
The use of the bond proceeds authorized by this constitutional amendment is limited to
financial assistance to political subdivisions for water, wastewater, and flood control projects.

expenses or grants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Texas Water Development Board?
A: The TWDB is a constitutionally created agency authorized to issue and sell general
obligation bonds to support financial assistance programs for the planning, design, and
construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source
pollution control, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.
Q: Will Proposition 2 cost taxpayers?
A: The only cost to the state will be the cost of the election. Repayment of the bonds will not
require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this bond authority to operate
a self-supporting loan program, which means that repayments on loans will pay for the
bonds. Entities that choose to use this funding opportunity to address their future water
and wastewater needs will repay the principal and interest on the loans they receive from
the TWDB. Those principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds.
Because the cost of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the
TWDB funding to pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan
with revenue received through use of the facility over time. Those persons benefiting from
the projects will repay the loans, and thus the bonds.
Q. How does the bond process work?
Simply put, a bond is a loan. It is a contract to repay borrowed money with interest. Local
entities request a loan from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), who, on behalf
of the state, then issues bonds and loans the proceeds to the local entity for water-related
projects. The local entities repay their loans with interest, and the TWDB then uses those
funds to pay the scheduled payments on the TWDB-issued bonds. As a result, these bonds
do not draw from state general revenue.
Q. What will Proposition 2 be used for?
A: Proposition 2 gives the TWDB the ability to partner with local entities by providing loans to
fund water, wastewater, and flood control projects in Texas. Local entities use the loans
they receive from TWDB to repair, improve, or expand existing facilities, such as water
towers, transmission lines, water wells and sewer collection lines. The loans may also be
used to build new infrastructure.
1
47. Q. Why do we need Proposition 2?
A: The water and wastewater infrastructure in Texas is aging and needs repair. Additionally,
more infrastructure is needed to deliver and/or ensure continuous delivery of water to all
Texans. The population in Texas is projected to double over the next 50 years while its
water supplies decrease. If additional water supplies and infrastructure are not created,
Texas businesses and workers could lose an estimated $115.7 billion in income, and the
creation of 1.1 million new jobs is potentially jeopardized.
The 2011 Regional Water Plans identified $27 billion needed from state financial assistance
programs in order to meet water supply needs over the next 50 years. This amount,
however, does not include funds for repair and rehabilitation of water infrastructure
necessary for meeting state and federal standards, nor additional wastewater treatment
and disposal capacity and additional flood control capacity.
Q: What is the state’s role?
A: The TWDB is the state agency that provides low-interest loans to local government entities
for water, wastewater and flood control projects. The TWDB can issue loans at more cost-
effective rates than are available in traditional markets due to the state’s high credit rating.
Q: Who benefits from Proposition 2?
A: Texas. Cities, counties, water districts, river authorities, and nonprofit water supply
corporations are all eligible to use TWDB’s financial assistance programs in order to
address water and wastewater infrastructure needs.
Q: What will happen if Proposition 2 fails?
A: Because of the economy, many local entities need to partner with the state to access funds
for water-related infrastructure. Without the funds provided through Proposition 2, most
local entities will not be able to get financing for water-related infrastructure.
Q: Is this the first time the state has asked for water bonds?
A: No. Since 1957, the legislature and voters have approved constitutional amendments
authorizing the TWDB to issue up to $4.23 billion in bonds for financing water-related
projects, of which $3.29 billion has been issued. Of the amount issued, over $1 billion has
been issued just in the last three years. Once the remaining funds are depleted, the TWDB
will not be able to assist local entities with water infrastructure needs.
2
48. Q: Is this a blank check?
A: No. Bonds are issued based on requests for funds from local entities. In addition, the
Bond Review Board, chaired by the Governor and composed of state leadership, oversees
issuance of all state bonds, including the TWDB’s bonds. At any time, the state can deny
TWDB’s request to issue bonds.
Q: Will the bonds be used to build reservoirs?
A: Since reservoirs are very expensive to build, they typically need a specific appropriation
from the legislature. These bonds may be used for reservoir construction, but a legislative
appropriation would likely be necessary.
Q: Who should we contact for more information?
A: Contact Melanie Callahan, Interim Executive Administrator of the Texas Water
Development Board, at 512-463-7850 or Melanie.Callahan@twdb.state.tx.us.

Memo
Date: September 2, 2011
To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: City Manager Harold Dominguez
Subject: Agenda Item for September 1, 2011 Council Meeting
Contact: City Manager Harold Dominguez
Caption: Consent Item
Consideration of adopting a Resolution of the City Council of the City of San
Angelo, Texas, acknowledging the critical water supply and water quality needs of
the state of Texas and of the communities of West Texas, the infrastructure
required to meet those needs, the necessity for cost effective programs to assist
local government in financing water related projects, the effectiveness of financing
opportunities offered by the Texas Water Development Board, and supporting
proposition 2, a proposed Texas constitutional amendment providing for water
financial assistance bonds
Summary: Proposition 2 would amend the constitution to authorize the Texas Water
Development Board to issue additional general obligation bonds on a continuing
basis for one or more accounts of the Texas Water Development Fund II, with the
restriction that the total amount of bonds outstanding at any time does not exceed
$6 billion.
The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The
constitutional amendment providing for the issuance of additional general
obligation bonds by the Texas Water Development Board in an amount not to
exceed $6 billion at any time outstanding.”
The City of San Angelo Development Corporation also voted unanimously to
support the measure at their meeting on August 24, 2011.
History: Texas Water Development Board has been instrumental to the City’s water
development plan, specifically in securing funding for the Hickory Pipeline project.
The Board issues and sell general obligation bonds to support financial assistance
programs for the planning, design, and construction of water supply, wastewater
treatment, stormwater and nonpoint source pollution control, flood control, and
agricultural water conservation projects.
Financial Impact: Proposition 2 is designed to be self supporting, meaning that repayment of the
bonds will not require State of Texas general revenue. The TWDB will use this
bond authority to operate a self-supporting loan program, which means that
repayments on loans will pay for the bonds. Entities that choose to use this
funding opportunity to address their future water and wastewater needs will repay
the principal and interest on the loans they receive from the TWDB. Those
principal and interest payments will be used to repay the bonds. Because the cost
of water-related infrastructure can be significant, an entity can use the TWDB
funding to pay for construction and then pay the principal and interest on the loan
with revenue received through use of the facility over time. Those persons
benefiting from the projects will repay the loans, and thus the bonds
