From the meeting

On November 12, 2026, the Houston City Council was scheduled to consider an ordinance amending Chapter 52: Water Regulations. The proposed changes would define ownership of water service lines between the water main connection and the water meter, revise responsibility for repairs, and remove the City's thawing and extra connection charge provisions. The document was a notice of proposed amendment, so no decision was recorded in this notice.

Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

When will City of Houston issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Houston's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.

Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
