Houston's aging East Water Purification Plant needs a $4.1 billion upgrade, but the city faces funding challenges.

Houston's East Water Purification Plant, supplying up to 75% of the city's water, is over 70 years old and in critical need of repairs, with some parts held together by duct tape.

The total water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades could cost up to $15 billion over the next 15 years.
