Along with sewer maintenance, Houston & Harris, PCS, Inc. worked closely with City crews to aid in clean-up efforts after water main breaks and a variety of other emergencies. These efforts focus on expediting the clean up to minimize the impact to the residents of the affected area. The partnership that has been built together over the last 20 years is one that is valued by both the employees and administration at Houston & Harris. We aim tirelessly to fulfill the needs of the city, even if it does not relate to our typical services offered. When tropical storm Hillary came to California in 2023, Houston & Harris offered all available staff, including the president of the company, to aid in the filling of sandbags to help the residents of Santa Ana. In short, Houston & Harris, PCS, Inc. considers the City of Santa Ana not only a customer, but a strategic partner in ensuring the Southern California region is a great place to live.

Serving two consecutive 3-year contract terms, Houston & Harris, PCS, Inc. Cleaned over 3,000,000 linear feet and video inspected over 350,000 feet of sanitary sewer in the City of Orange from 2015 to 2022. During this time our firm helped the city focus their existing “hot spot” list by establishing segments which did not belong and finding other sections to be added until a comprehensive list was established. By keeping accurate records of cleaning logs, Houston and Harris was able to assist the 9a

City of Placentia

Placentia, CA 92870
Joel Cardenas- 714-920-8859
Currently working on year 3 of the second consecutive 5-year contract, Houston & Harris, PCS, Inc. has cleaned nearly 2,000,000 linear feet and video inspected over 500,000 feet of the City’s sanitary sewer system. Without a data management system in place, Houston and Harris has taken the lead on digitizing cleaning and video reports into a searchable database to allow city personnel to quickly and easily access maintenance record. This has again assisted in the lead transition after the retirement of a long-term sewer lead. Here a “hot spot” list has also been established and is cleaned quarterly. The City of Placentia does not operate its own water company, making coordination through multiple, independent agencies extremely important, ensuring equipment is in place when maintenance efforts are scheduled. Recently, Houston & Harris has also taken the lead on the scheduled maintenance of the sewer lift stations within the city.
Jurupa Community Services District
11201 Harrel Street
Mira Loma, CA
Ashish Marwah- 951-685-7434 x 147
In 2021, Jurupa Community Services District announced a need to quickly Clean and Inspect their entire sanitary system of 2,062,113 linear feet. This work was to be broken into 5 individual contracts in two cities with overlapping timelines. Houston & Harris was awarded all five contracts, delivering the final product on time, and within budget. The project offered Houston & Harris plenty of “firsts” within the scope of the work. With a phone app-based tracking system to AI software screening each sewer segment, these contracts highlighted the importance of having a highly skilled and trained IT team.
After each sewer inspection underwent a quality control check, the data was prepped for upload.
Thousands of sewer inspections were remotely uploaded to the districts servers where the inspections went through another check through an engineered AI program to check for accuracy. The acceptance of each inspection was no small feat, and serves as a testament to the accuracy of the 14 NASSCO certified inspection technicians who played a pivotal role in the timely completion of these projects. 9b
