The South Houston Water Department isn’t a spa, and it’s not a thrill ride. It’s a crew of people who make sure you can brush your teeth without gagging. Next time you turn on the tap, give it a little nod. They earned it.
And if you ever find yourself knee-deep in a leak at 2 AM, just remember: you’re not alone. Somewhere, a water department worker is probably fixing a bigger one. Probably with less drama, too.
