State Rep. Armando Walle (D-Houston) has made clean water among his top missions during his 18 years in office.
"Infrastructure, water infrastructure is very important to this community," Walle told ABC13. "It's a huge priority. It's the reason I've served on natural resources in several sessions."
On Monday, Walle announced that he helped secure $18 million for two projects. One of them includes new water lines and new hydrants in the Heather Glen neighborhood.

With an influx of these facilities coming to the state, Walle said he wants to find solutions for Texans and determine how much natural resources are being used.
"There’s a lot of opportunity here. There's a favorable business climate, regulatory climate. But we also know that we have to be good stewards of our natural resources," Walle said. "Water and energy is a huge factor for us and we need to be able to preserve our water source, whether it's for urban communities or whether it’s for agricultural communities."
