Sewer Justice for Houston

Houston’s sanitation crisis comes at a steep cost. The City approved $2 billion for public sewer upgrades, but families are stuck paying thousands to fix private sewer laterals. The city needs long-term solutions for its infrastructure gaps. A $20 million private sewer repair fund would be an investment in #PublicHealth and reduce costly emergency repairs. 🎧Listen to Houstonians tell their sewer stories and learn more at Houston's City Council meeting on April 15th. #WaterInfrastructure #JusticeInTheSewers #WaterManagement

Houston has a 💩 problem and our communities are living with the mess. The City has $2B to fix public pipes, but families are stuck with the bill for their repairs, impacting communities of color and low-income folks most. That’s not justice. We need a city fund to fix failing private sewer lines so no one has to live with sewage where kids play and people call home. 🎧Listen to Houstonians tell their sewer stories #JusticeInTheSewers #Houston #CleanWater #WaterJustice #PooFreeBayouCity

💩Houston, we have a poo problem 💩 🚨Did you know thousands of gallons of raw sewage flood our neighborhoods every year hitting Black, Brown, and low-income communities the hardest? 🏘️Houston is investing $2B for public sewer repairs, but struggling families need support to fix their broken sewer lines. 💧We need a fund to help people with repairs on their properties. We’re asking for just ONE more cent per dollar already planned for Bayou City’s sewers, $20M. 🎧Listen to people share their sewer stories and join the movement for #SewageJustice. #CleanWater #WaterJustice #PooFreeBayouCity

Houston has a water infrastructure crisis. Over the past decade, millions of gallons of raw sewage have spilled into communities, with low-income and communities of color being hit hardest. The City is investing $2 billion in public sewer repairs, but homeowners are still responsible for fixing private sewer laterals––this can cost thousands for families living on a tight budget. 🛠️We need a dedicated $20 million private fund to help people––just one additional penny for every dollar of planned investment for Houston’s sewer system to: ✔️Help fix failing sewer lines ✔️Curb sewage backups ✔️Prioritize communities in most need Because everyone deserves access to safe and reliable water and sanitation. 🎧Listen to Houstonians tell their sewer stories and check out Bayou City Waterkeeper's Justice in the sewers Hub to learn more. #WaterInfrastructure #WaterJustice #JusticeInTheSewers #WaterManagement #PublicHealth
