has members in districts located throughout the state, as well as |

is governed by a board of directors whose members manage the water |
|
|
and wastewater of their area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The AWBD works to advance water district operation |
|
|
and management through five objectives: publishing information to |

|
community deterioration from substandard utility service, |
|
|
monitoring proposed regulations and legislation, and offering a |
|
|
forum for members to exchange experience and information; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Providing essential water, wastewater, and drainage |
|
|
utility service to countless Texans, water districts are a crucial |
|

partner in ensuring their progress and growth; now, therefore, be |
