The City of Houston is in the process of bidding on private companies to run a "critical" public water supply facility in southeast Houston."Houston Public Works believes that the City operating its facilities best serves the public. However, the existing agreement between the City and its partners in the Southeast Water Purification Plant allows for the exploration of outside vendors.
A search warrant was served on the Kingwood Wastewater Treatment Facility, run by Inframark, on Feb. 17 with allegations that they were falsifying government records and compliance samples. The document granting investigators access to the facility said water that had not been properly purified was being released into Bens Branch, which feeds directly into Lake Houston, which is one of the city's main drinking water sources.
No surprise here. What say you slick, SylvesterTurner ? Follow the payoffs! $$$ This city is so fucked with this cesspool of incompetent clowns running things.
