PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-05-12

The city council approved the completion of a sewer rehabilitation contract with Texas Pride Utilities, LLC and authorized any final payment owed to the company. The work involved repairing sanitary sewer lines using a cured-in-place pipe lining method across eight council districts.

What it means for you

Aging or damaged sewer pipes in eight Houston districts have been rehabilitated, which can reduce sewer backups, leaks, and overflows for residents in those areas. The council's acceptance closes out the contract and allows the contractor to receive any remaining payment.
