A Guide To Bathing Pets After Natural Disasters

Natural disasters such as floods, wildfires, and tornadoes are occurring more often.

Texas Water Utilities invested $80 million in water and wastewater systems in 2023

Texas Water Utilities, which provides water and wastewater services to more than 138,000 Texans, directly invested more than $80 million in 2023 to keep water safe and flowing in the state. The investment includes infrastructure reinforcements, repairs, replacements, weather emergency preparations and improved system monitoring and communications services within the 38 counties where the organization operates.
