Background and Discussion:

Creel Country Estates is in the Spring Gully and Goose Creek watershed and in Precinct 2 in eastern Harris County. This project site is generally bounded by E Wallisville Road to the north, residential development to the west and east, and O207-01-00 to the south. Creel Country Estates is in unshaded Zone X. Portions of the existing water and wastewater systems on Lyndale Dr, Bonneville Dr, and Cindyrella Dr need to be relocated due to utility conflicts. The proposed improvements are to regrade roadside ditches, upsize culverts to increase capacity, channel improvement, and to construct a detention basin for mitigation.

 

Expected Impact:

This project seeks to strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in Creel Country Subdivision. This contract is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impacts of recovery cost to the Creel Country Subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. No impact to project schedule or staffing anticipated.

 

Alternative Options:

The County could elect to fund the request task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project cannot be constructed.
