To meet all regulatory mandates and requirements. Provide regional, state and national leadership. To plan future water supplies for the region. Public Utilities Division is responsible for the City's public water supply and wastewater systems. The Division provides drinking water to homes and businesses as well as untreated water provided to major contract customers through the Coastal Water Authority.
Wastewater is collected throughout the city and treated for safe return to local streams.
In meeting the utility needs of the public, Public Utilities meets all federal and state regulatory standards. That budget is used for all personnel, supplies, and capital equipment needed to operate and maintain the largest utility in the state of Texas. Over the last four years the Division has implemented a program to reduce the cost of delivering water and sewer service. We have done this with no decrease in our level of service.
