Texas’ population and economy continue to grow, placing unprecedented demands on the state’s finite water resources. 

In response, a statewide coalition of Texas business leaders and organizations is urging the Texas Legislature to establish a dedicated revenue source to fund future water projects. These include expanding our water supply portfolio and fixing aging and deteriorating water systems. These investments are essential to the state’s long-term resilience and economic future.

Just as a stable energy grid and skilled workforce are pillars of Texas’ success, reliable water infrastructure is foundational to sustaining long-term growth and prosperity.

Our letter to the 89th Texas Legislature was distributed on Feb. 10, 2025.
