Voters in Bellaire, Texas, gave their approval to two major infrastructure bond measures in the November 2024 election, signaling strong support for the city’s planned improvements to water, wastewater, and stormwater system, according to Wastewater Digest.
Proposition A, a $40 million bond, aims to fund various drainage improvements, including design, construction, and repairs.

The final results, released by the Harris County Clerk’s office the day after the election, confirmed widespread approval, with over 6,300 votes backing both propositions and fewer than 3,100 opposing them.
