Why it matters
This payment keeps Burnett Bayland Park's grass and trees healthy by covering water costs. The park serves Southwest Houston families with sports fields and trails. Paying these fees also helps prevent our land from sinking, which protects roads and buildings.
If this passes
The park will have reliable water for grass, trees, and sports fields. This keeps the park green and safe for families to use for the next year.
If this does not pass
The park might not have enough water for irrigation. Grass and trees could die, making the park less safe and enjoyable for families.
