HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT PROJECT FOCUSES ON FIVE HARRIS COUNTY DRAINAGE DITCHES

November 3, 2011
Sediment Removal Sediment Removal The Harris County Flood Control District will soon launch a maintenance project that will remove sediment from several drainage ditches in west and northwest Harris County. The sediment is being removed to facilitate the flow of stormwater.

Work is already under way on a section of the Langham Creek tributary in Cy-Fair formally known as U125-00-00 that runs from Hudson Oaks Drive in Copperfield’s Westcreek Village subdivision to its confluence with Langham Creek southeast of the Westgate subdivision.

When that project is complete, the Flood Control District will start work on the Barker Reservoir tributary in Katy formally identified as T103-01-01. Sediment will be removed from the north end of the drainage ditch at Highland Knolls Drive to a point located 1,400 feet downstream of North Lake Village Drive in the Cinco Ranch North Lake Village subdivision.

In mid- to late November, the Flood Control District will get started on two Dry Gully tributaries and one Little Cypress Creek tributary in northwest Harris County.

Sediment will be removed from the Dry Gully tributary formally identified by the Flood Control District as K133-03-00 from Landry Drive in the Memorial Chase subdivision south to its confluence with Dry Gully between Sunny Creek Drive in the Memorial Creek subdivision and Summer Point Drive in the Colony Creek Village subdivision. The ditch also flows through the Champion Springs Village subdivision.

The second Dry Gully ditch slated for maintenance is formally identified by the Flood Control District as K133-04-01 and flows between the Brentwood Lakes and Memorial Chase subdivisions parallel to Jan Glen Lane.

The Flood Control District will also remove sediment from a section of the Little Cypress Creek tributary formally known as L104-00-00 that runs between Grant and Louetta roads in the Fairwood subdivision.

"In addition to building flood damage reduction projects, it is important that we maintain Harris County’s extensive and complex drainage network," said Heather Saucier, Flood Control District spokeswoman. "These drainage ditches branch off from our major bayous and creeks and play a vital role in capturing and moving stormwater away from our neighborhoods."
