Survey underscores demand for investment in Texas water infrastructure

The 2024 survey of water districts done by the Texas Water Infrastructure Network and the Collaborative Water Resolution finds, among other things:

- 92% reported that their current or projected revenues were stable or increasing.

- 81% responded that the current state of the economy and inflation rate had not impaired their ability to access affordable financing through the private sector, and that their current water rates were sufficient to fund their current and future capital programs.

- 76% had increased their budgets for construction costs due either to inflationary or supply chain issues.

- 63% had delayed projects.

The executive summary of the survey is here. The full results are here.
