Water

Due to the issues at the City of Houston’s NEWPP, the Authority is experiencing difficulties in meeting the high demand under the extreme weather conditions. The Authority is implementing Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan immediately. The Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan request that any customer receiving water from the Authority or well owner whose well is included under the Authority’s Harris-Galveston Subsidence District aggregate water well permit:

Check for and repair all leaks, dripping faucets, and running toilets.

• Utilize water conservation measures such as displacement bags, low-flow shower heads and leak detection tablets. Additional water conservation tips can be found at www.irrygator.com;
• Limit irrigation to no more than two days per week, between 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. following the schedules below:
  • Sundays and Thursdays for single family residential customers with even-numbered street addresses.
  • Saturdays and Wednesdays for single family residential customers with odd-numbered street addresses.
  • Tuesdays and Fridays for all other customers.
  • No watering on Mondays.

Compliance to the above recommendations is voluntary.

In an effort to keep you informed about the Harris County Flood Control District’s continuing improvements in the Cypress Creek watershed, we want to notify you of an upcoming project in your area. As early as July 2022, the Flood Control District will begin construction on the third set of repair sites (Batch 3) on tributaries in the Cypress Creek watershed. Batch 3 is part of a major repair project funded by the 2018 Flood Control District Bond Program, Bond ID CI-012. Batch 1 and 2 are currently under construction on other channels in the watershed.

Overall, this project is intended to provide major maintenance along Cypress Creek and its tributaries to restore channel conveyance capacity across the watershed. This work will not widen or deepen the channels but will return them to their designed condition and capacity so that they can convey stormwater more efficiently. The Batch 3 scope of work for 12 sites on 11 channel sections includes some or all of the following: Removal of silt, placement of buried riprap (rocks designed to protect from erosion), erosion repair, outfall pipe removal and replacement, manhole replacements, concrete channel lining replacements, excavation and off-site disposal, debris removal, encroachment removal, and site restoration. The project also includes outfall repairs at one existing stormwater detention basin.

Multiple crews will be working on various project sites simultaneously. The timeframe for when crews will be working at each site in Batch 3 has not been determined, but additional communications may be sent to impacted areas prior to construction.
