West Houston Association Issues
The
Houston City Council voted to hike water and sewer rates an average of nearly
10%. The hike and a refinancing of current water and sewer debt will help
launch a badly needed drainage operation and capital program for the City. Mayor Bill White is proposing an increase in the City of Houston Water
and Sewer rates and a refinancing of current debt to provide for a capital and
maintenance program for the City's aging drainage system. Below is a
series of presentation charts used by the City of Houston to introduce the
subject.

control & drainage issues from the West Houston Association.
This slide presentation was prepared by the City of Houston in
preparation for the City Council vote to increase water rates to undertake
drainage improvements:
