The U.S. Small Business Administration has declared an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) for Texas due to E. Coli contamination, impacting Laredo's water supply. The contamination incident occurred from October 10 to October 21, 2024. Businesses in Webb County and surrounding areas in Texas are eligible to apply for loans online to help recover financially from this event. Additionally, the deadline to apply for these loans is set for October 14, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Small Business Administration is helping Texas businesses because their water got dirty, and those affected can ask for money to help until October 2025. But they didn't say how much money there is, who can get it, or what proof you need that you need help.
