With a focus on enhancing sustainability, efficiency, and affordability in the city's water system, Candidate Nwabara presented a clear vision to tackle these challenges.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Candidate Nwabara outlined a three-pronged approach to address Houston's water infrastructure issues:

Investing in Modernization: Candidate Nwabara stressed the need for upgrading and modernizing the aging water infrastructure in Houston.

Addressing Rising Water Bills: Acknowledging concerns about high water bills, Candidate Nwabara pledged to enhance transparency in Public Works operations, provide better training for field operators, and investigate the causes of inexplicably high bills. By identifying the root of the issue, solutions can be implemented to prevent its recurrence.

Preventing Busted Water Mains: Candidate Nwabara proposed a proactive maintenance plan to prevent busted water mains. This plan involves regular inspections, swift repairs, and advanced technologies to identify vulnerabilities in the water distribution system. Additional resources for Houston Public Works will be sought to facilitate these improvements.

Keith Hardy, campaign spokesperson, stated, "Obes Nwabara is committed to securing a brighter future for Houston by addressing the pressing water infrastructure issues that affect every resident. The candidate's vision is not only about fixing the problems we face today but also ensuring a sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective water system that will serve Houstonians for years to come."

The press conference provided an opportunity for Candidate Nwabara to interact with the community, address inquiries, and garner support for these vital proposals. With comprehensive knowledge and experience in addressing the city's infrastructure challenges, Candidate Nwabara's plans aim to lead Houston towards a resilient and prosperous future.

As the election approaches, Candidate Nwabara encourages Houston residents to participate, offer feedback, and join the endeavor to resolve the city's water infrastructure issues. Together, a better Houston can be built.
