April 28, 2025
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) released the following statement regarding the recent news on Mexican water repayments.
“Water is the lifeblood of our community. I welcome South Texas getting its rightfully owed water,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “However, any water from Mexico must also be met with increased federal funding to improve our local infrastructure.”
“We lose 40% of the Mexican water payments to evaporation and seepage. If we don’t get our infrastructure in order, we will never be out of the woods.”
