Houston Public Works’ Water Conservation Plan serves as a reporting requirement and as our roadmap for the next 5 years.

Houston’s Water Conservation Plan is crucial for ensuring the city’s long-term water sustainability, particularly in the face of growing population demands and extreme weather challenges. By promoting efficient water use, the plan helps preserve local water sources, reduce strain on infrastructure, and lower overall costs for residents. It also plays a key role in protecting ecosystems, enhancing resilience against drought, and securing a reliable water future for generations to come.

The purpose of the Water Conservation Plan is to ensure water use efficiency through a strategic combination of approaches aimed at:

• Reducing water loss or waste.
• Minimizing consumption by developing programs for our residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers in maximizing water efficiency for both indoor and outdoor usage.
• Educating the community on water conservation practices.
