Conserving Water
Water Conservation
Conserving water goes beyond saving money; it ensures clean water for future generations. Houston Water's Conservation Team offers tools, programs, and resources to help customers conserve one of our most precious resources – water.
All conservation and efficiency measures aim to reduce water use. These measures decrease the demand placed upon water treatment plants and extend the life of our water supplies. During drought, water shortage or other emergencies, conservation staff implement the measures listed in the City's Water Conservation, Agricultural Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plans.
Houston Water has recently completed drafts of the 2024 Water Conservation, Agricultural Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plans. As part of this process, we ask the public to provide comments or suggestions on these plans.
The comment period will be open to the public from August 28, 2024, through September 11, 2024.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your response.
