Other agencies providing funds for the $1.5 million pipeline project include the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas Water Development Board.

According to the news release, emergency community water grants "are provided to assist rural communities that have experienced a significant decline in the quantity or quality of drinking water due to an emergency."

The city's regular source of water, E.V. Spence Reservoir on the Colorado River, is essentially dry, said Robert Lee Mayor John Jacobs.
