The city of Houston is considering contracting with the company accused of a Kingwood sewage leak to operate one of its drinking water plants.

Houston Police said Inframark, the company who operates the Kingwood Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, remains under criminal investigation. In January, residents began complaining of a foul sewage stench in the air. The odor lasted several days and prompted an investigation.

Britt Owens' home is within eyeshot of the Kingwood Wastewater Plant. He said the foul odor has existed intermittently for years. FOX 26 Reporter Matthew Seedorff explains the latest in the investigation of the Kingwood Water Plant. Inframark is now in consideration to contract with the city of Houston and operate the Southeast Water Purification Plant. The plant treats and provides approximately 200 million gallons of drinking water per day.

"If this is the company that’s taking care of the water sewer treatment plant, and they’re going to be providing the water in this neighborhood and the surrounding areas, they’d have to be on top of these people watching what they’re doing. Because if they can’t handle the sewerage, I’m not sure they’d be the ones I’d want handling my water," Owens said.
