Along with the Water Distribution System, Houston also managed and operated two wastewater treatment facilities, provided tank inspections, and oversaw a tank demolition, as well as various renovation projects in Beulah.  His accomplishments did not go unnoticed as he was recognized by the AWWA Alabama-Mississippi Section as the “2016 Young Professional of the Year”.
