Industrial Generator Rentals for Water Districts and Utility Providers in and around Houston, TX
Water districts and utility companies deliver the essential services that keep communities functioning—clean water, sanitation, and power. When outages occur, pumps, treatment systems, and control networks can fail, putting public health and infrastructure at risk. With generator rentals from 20 kW to 2,000 kW, Stag Rentals provides dependable power solutions to keep critical systems online. Whether supplying temporary power during maintenance or emergency backup during storms, we help utilities protect operations, safeguard water quality, and maintain service reliability across Houston and surrounding areas.
Stag Rentals serves water and utility operations across the Greater Houston region, including Pasadena, Baytown, Pearland, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Conroe, League City, Galveston, and nearby Gulf Coast municipalities. Our industrial diesel and natural gas generators deliver reliable, efficient power for water treatment, pumping, and supervisory control systems during planned outages or emergencies.
Why Water and Utility Systems Need Backup Power
Consider a municipal water plant in Pasadena that loses power during a storm. Without pumps or filtration systems, water pressure drops, and contamination risks increase. A 200–400 kW generator can sustain primary pumps and controls until the grid is restored. In Baytown, a wastewater facility may need 600–800 kW to continue treatment operations safely through prolonged outages. Smaller pumping stations in League City or Clear Lake typically require 60–150 kW units to maintain localized pressure zones. Larger utility providers operating across multiple service areas often depend on 1,000–2,000 kW systems with redundancy to ensure uninterrupted delivery and regulatory compliance.
Backup generation isn’t just about convenience—it’s a public safety measure that keeps communities supplied with clean water and reliable service during crises. Stag Rentals partners with water district engineers and municipal operators to design power solutions that maintain compliance with TCEQ, EPA, and NFPA reliability standards.

Why Call To Rent A Generator Before The Next Hurricane Season Begins?
Risks Of Waiting To Rent A Generator
Limited Availability
Rental programs often operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Availability may be limited during peak times.
Delivery Delays
Moving a generator takes time. If you don't have a generator near your site, then you may be missing out when a hurricane hits.
"Surge Pricing"
Renting a generator after a hurricane strikes may incur an increase in price as many rental companies are moving towards a "surge pricing" model.
