Today, the BRA's staff of 284 develop and distribute water supplies, provide water and wastewater treatment, monitor water quality, and pursue water conservation through public education programs. Although the Brazos River Authority is an agency of the State of Texas, it does not levy or collect taxes. Except for occasional governmental grants to help pay the costs of specific projects, the BRA is entirely self-supporting. The BRA maintains and operates its reservoirs and treatment systems using revenues from the customers it serves.\n \n📍Find us on Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube.\n\n📨Sign up for our quarterly newsletter.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AdTjykO1LSvUBzidjVZk6OiuMx2uYdR8SQ8XE_jXOlM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81YjZm/ZDcyYmJlNDA0ZWU2/NmQwOWU2ZmFlYThk/NzUwNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
