Favors A Name ChangeAfter reading your comments and those of Sam Wade, in the January 2014 issue of TPO, I feel obliged to respond. I started in the water and wastewater business 20 years ago after a downturn in the oil and gas industry. In many parts of Texas, particularly in the Greater Houston area, municipal utility districts are the owners of the systems and plants.These are quasi-governmental entities set up by the state to provide water and wastewater services needed by customers. Many of these districts are operated and managed by operating companies that perform all the services involved.
