Houston Sewer System Settlement Community Meeting @ Acres Homes Multi-Service Center
Nov 6 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Over the last year, major storms have flooded the City of Houston’s sewer system and poured more than 450,000 gallons of untreated sewage into our bayous. Over the last five years, storms have triggered more than 15 million gallons of the City’s untreated sewage to flood our bayous and neighborhoods, harming our water and health.

Join us on Wednesday, November 6th from 5:00 to 8:00 at Acres Homes Multi-Service Center to learn more!

We’ve partnered with Texas Housers to host a community meeting to provide an overview, answer any questions, and provide assistance to those wishing to craft comment letters. Dinner will be provided and children are welcome!

WHERE:   Acres Homes Multi-Service Center
6719 W. Montgomery Road, Houston, TX, 77091

WHEN:    Wednesday, November 6th
5:00 – 8:00pm

What to Bring:   Stories of your experiences with sewage backups in your neighborhood or home – if you have digital pictures, please bring them!

Tell the EPA by November 8th that you want a wastewater settlement that gives generations of Houstonians cleaner water, greener streets, and a strong buffer against storms like Tropical Storm Imelda.

Sewage spills like these have become the norm every time it rains – however, these spills are avoidable. The City of Houston must repair its long-neglected wastewater system.

The City of Houston’s $2 billion settlement with the EPA and the TCEQ will require repairs to sewage lines and wastewater treatment plants across Houston. Unfortunately, the settlement falls short in several key respects. There is still time to fix it.

This is your opportunity to make your voice heard. Take action and submit your comment today.
