The WHCRWA has taken measures to strengthen service during extreme weather events. WHCRWA’s emergency power facilities are maintained throughout severe weather events.

Additionally, the WHCRWA continues to take steps to reduce the risk of losing water supply from the City of Houston:

• Coordinating directly with the City of Houston to assess events leading up to any critical infrastructure failure
• Continuing to survey infrastructure and making repairs to the WHCRWA system where necessary
• Assessing available data regarding the loss of water supply
• Reviewing and revising where necessary, the established emergency plans, including the WHCRWA Operator’s Severe Weather Plan
• Developing long-term mitigation plans to address future extreme weather events
• Enhancing communication methods and measures with utility district customers
• Coordinating with the City of Houston and other Water Authorities in reviewing the Northeast Water Plant Expansion Project for design elements, resilience, and redundancy for operations in emergency conditions.
