At Houston River Water Works District 11, we are committed to providing safe, high quality water services to our community, while maintaining a standard of excellence in customer service and environmental conservation. The holiday season is upon us and so is the wintery weather. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can really take a toll on a home, causing expensive damages and high utility bills. Winterizing your home can help prevent unexpected surprises, such as busted pipes, and will help with energy costs.
