Texas Water Utilities’ 2021 Infrastructure Report

You are here: Home / Business / Texas Water Utilities’ 2021 Infrastructure Report

The 2021 Infrastructure Report (included below) shows that, during the year, Texas Water Utilities directly invested approximately $25 million in repairs, replacements, and infrastructure upgrades to keep water safe and flowing in Texas. The investment includes water and wastewater system upgrades completed within the 36 counties the organization operates.

“Water is a critical resource for every Texan, and Winter Storm Uri confirmed the vital need for utility investment,” Jeffrey L. McIntyre, president of Texas Water Utilities said. “We have steadily invested in our infrastructure throughout the past 25 years, and while the storm confirmed that we have been doing the right thing, there is still more work to be done to ensure reliable service for all Texans.” 

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 2021 Texas Infrastructure Report Card, emphasizes that the state’s commitment to fund safe, adequate, and reliable drinking water is critically important for continuing growth and prosperity. The ASCE goes on to mention that Texas’ population is projected to grow by more than 1,000 people per day—from 29.7 million in 2020 to approximately 51.5 million by 2070—exponentially increasing the demand for water.

Texas Water Utilities continues to invest in the future of water sustainability to accommodate these growing demands. McIntyre added, “The individuals who work on our water infrastructure are members of the communities we serve and value the public’s health because it is essential for our wellbeing.”

Texas Water Utilities’ $25 million investment includes, but is not limited to, the following projects:
