Description
A waterworks construction project in Rankin, Texas was undertaken with the aid of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) funds. The PWA supplied a $22,000 loan and $18,000 grant toward the $39,527 eventual total cost of the project. Work occurred between Oct. 1938 and Nov. 1939.
The depth of the work is unclear to Living New Deal though it is likely that it involved the construction of the water tower at the NW corner of Main St. and 12th Ave.
