This contract renewal keeps our community's water wells running safely. Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $321,580 contract with Hydro Tech Utilities to maintain water well facilities across Harris County from May 2026 to May 2027. Water wells provide drinking water to thousands of families in unincorporated Harris County areas. Without proper maintenance, wells can fail and leave neighborhoods without clean water. The contract covers preventive maintenance, inspections, repairs, testing, and safety reporting. These services protect our water quality and prevent expensive emergency repairs. The contract shows strong commitment to minority and women-owned businesses, with 100% participation exceeding the 22% goal. This means local diverse businesses earn contracts and create jobs in our community. Harris County operates dozens of water wells serving rural and suburban areas outside city limits. Regular maintenance prevents contamination and ensures reliable water pressure. Testing catches problems early before they affect drinking water safety. The Commissioners Court passed this renewal in May 2024, showing ongoing commitment to water infrastructure.
