Background and Discussion:
This project is located northwest of Harris County in the Cypress Creek watershed. The Prestonwood Forest project area consists of Hargrave road north roadside drainage ditch and a connecting drainage ditch that parallels Cutten Road. The scope approved on Commissioners Court (June 9,2020) consisted of re- evaluation of the recommendation made during the planning study of this project. It was determined that regrading Hargrave Road and BNSF Railway ditches with installing new culverts and underground storm sewer pipes will improve the conveyance and capacity of the ditch system to improve the drainage for localized flooding events in the neighborhood. This study report is an executive summary with supporting appendices of detail to describe the design and construction scope moving forward.
Expected Impact:
This study report documents the study phase engineering completed for the Prestonwood Forest Subdivision Drainage Improvements. Once the final engineering design and ultimate construction is completed, there will be reduction in flood risk for the Prestonwood Forest neighborhood. This project is a step in the process to reduce the financial, physical, and emotional burden flood damage places on homeowners and will reduce the financial impact of recovery costs to the Prestonwood Forest subdivision homeowners, Harris County, and FEMA. There are no direct staffing or fiscal impacts for this item.
