Drive Further’s training focuses on building confidence and competence through a multi-sensory approach, breaking down driving tasks into manageable steps, and providing a supportive learning surroundings.

“Driving is a complex skill, and it can be particularly challenging for people who process details differently,” Labonte explained. “We’re not trying to change who they are; we’re trying to adapt the training to how they learn.”

Houston Residents Face Unexpected Water Bill Increases

Many residents in the Houston area are experiencing notable and unexpected spikes in their water bills, leading to frustration and confusion. Reports are surfacing across multiple communities, with homeowners questioning the accuracy of their charges and seeking explanations from the city.

What’s Happening?

The sudden increases vary in amount, but several residents report bills doubling or even tripling compared to previous months, despite no noticeable change in water usage. This has prompted many to investigate potential leaks,only to find none. The City of Houston is currently investigating the cause of thes discrepancies.

Possible Causes

Several factors could contribute to these higher bills. The City of Houston recently implemented a new automated meter reading (AMR) system. While intended to improve accuracy and efficiency, some residents suspect the new system may be malfunctioning or misreporting usage. Another potential cause is unusually high water pressure in certain areas, which could lead to undetected leaks. seasonal changes and increased outdoor water use, though not universally applicable, could also play a role.

What is the City Doing?

The City of Houston is aware of the issue and is actively working to address it. Officials are encouraging residents to contact the Houston Public Works department to report discrepancies and request a review of their bills. The city is also offering resources to help residents identify and address potential leaks. They are examining data from the new AMR system to identify any patterns or anomalies that could explain the widespread increases.

How to Check Your Bill and Reduce Usage

Here are some steps residents can take:
