Harris County may renew a $1,052,928 contract with Blue Triton Brands for bottled water and water cooler rentals through September 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court is considering renewing a contract with Blue Triton Brands to supply steam distilled drinking water, rent water coolers, and provide related items. The renewal would cover October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, at a total cost of $1,052,928. The item was introduced on July 23, 2026, and is listed as Contract - Renewal file 26-5086.
Harris County would spend over $1 million in public funds to keep bottled water and water coolers available at county facilities for one year. Residents may care because this affects how tax dollars are used.
