Houston Public Works work hard to ensure our wastewater treatment plants are in tip top shape, and their efforts are being rewarded. 

For the fifth consecutive year, the Houston Public Works Wastewater team won the National Association of Clean Water Agencies' Platinum Peak Performance Award for WCID #47 (Water Control & Improvement District). The award recognizes treatment plants who go five consecutive years without any plant violations. 

Platinum awards recognize 100% compliance with permits over a consecutive five-year period. Platinum awards are given to facilities with a consistent record of full compliance for a consecutive five years at the gold level. 

If 100% compliance is maintained beyond the initial award, Platinum award status is continued. Should 100% compliance not be maintained, member agency facilities must receive four consecutive Gold Awards to again be eligible for another Platinum Award in their fifth year of compliance. 

Congratulations to the following team members:
