Background and Discussion:

The Connorvale Development is an infrastructure project designed to support single-family affordable housing. The scope includes roadway and sidewalk construction; installation of sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems; pavement improvements; and construction of a lift station and detention ponds to serve East Aldine Estates in Precinct 2. According to CenterPoint Energy, this location represents Harris County’s first point of service; therefore, no costs are owed by the County for this SOL. CenterPoint Energy will provide a service drop to Harris County.

 

Expected Impact:

Approval of the Service Outlet Location (SOL) statement will allow CenterPoint Energy to install three (3) 50 kVA transformers (277/480V) to power the lift station, located at 2201 1/2 Connorvale. This electrical service is essential to support infrastructure serving East Aldine Estates in Precinct 2.  According to CenterPoint Energy, this location represents Harris County’s first point of service; therefore, no costs are owed by the County for this SOL. CenterPoint Energy will provide a service drop to Harris County.

 

 

Alternative Options:

If the SOL statement is not approved, electrical service will not be provided to the lift station, which would negatively impact infrastructure operations and the surrounding neighborhood in East Aldine Estates, Precinct 2.
