Conserving Water
Water Conservation
Conserving water goes beyond saving money, it ensures clean water for generations to come. 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 are aimed at reducing water use. This decreases the demand on our water treatment plants and extends the life of our water supplies. In the event of a drought, water shortage, or other emergency, conservation staff implements the measures listed in the City's Water Conservation Plan and Drought Contingency Plan.
2019 Water Conservation Plan
The 2019 City of Houston Water Conservation Plan describes the City of Houston water system and customer base, explains Houston’s current conservation goals and targets, and discusses current and future programs to meet those goals and targets.
