The Brazos River Authority exists to develop, manage and protect the water resources of the Brazos River basin.
About us
The Brazos River Authority was created by the Texas Legislature in 1929 as the first government entity in the United States created specifically for the purpose of developing and managing the water resources of an entire river basin. Today, the BRA's staff of more than 250 develop and distribute water supplies, provide water and wastewater treatment, monitor water quality, and pursue water conservation through public education programs. The Brazos River Authority is entirely self-supporting, except for occasional governmental grants to help pay the costs of specific projects. The BRA does not levy or collect taxes; rather maintains and operates reservoirs and treatment systems using revenues from the customers it serves.

Operating a boat while intoxicated is not only dangerous but also a federal offense. Whether you’re cruising on a serene lake or navigating open waters, impaired boating poses serious risks. 🍺❌🛥️ Unlike cars, boats lack brakes. Factors like currents, waves, wind, and speed affect boats differently, so vigilance is crucial, and alcohol will impair you. Play it safe. Take turns being the designated driver so that everyone onboard goes home at the end of the day. 👍 #BWI #BoaterSafety #BrazosRiverAuthority
