In July 2022, Houston Public Works conceived and launched the Give Water a Break campaign – a comprehensive educational and outreach program, carefully tailored to address the city's unique water-related issues and foster a culture of water conservation.

As the 2024 presidential race accelerates, the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) is urging both candidates to prioritize critical clean water infrastructure issues. NACWA has submitted letters to Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump outlining several pressing challenges that affect public health, the environment, and the economic stability of American communities.
