Background and Discussion:
This project is located at Huffmeister Road and Fallbrook Drive, Houston, TX 77065. The project drains into HCFCD Unit No. E133-00-00. The scope and proposed improvements include providing stormwater detention storage to reduce flooding for subdivisions which drain into E133-00-00 and E133-01-00. It will also serve to mitigate two future drainage improvement projects: (1) within the Barwood Subdivision that ultimately outfalls into E133-00-00 and (2) the future Fallbrook Drive extension to Huffmeister Road to the existing Fallbrook Drive located at the eastern ROW of HCFCD Unit E133-00-00.
Expected Impact:
The project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Wortham Estates Subdivision.
Alternative Options:
The County could elect to fund the requested task or choose to reject it. However, if not approved, the project may not be constructed as scoped.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
