PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project made repairs and enhancements to the Lower Greens Bayou regional detention embankment and made control structure improvements. The project, formally known as HCFCD Unit P500-01-00, is located west of the Sam Houston Tollway, between Tidwell Road to the south and E. Mount Houston Road to the north.

This project was acknowledged as substantially complete by the Harris County Commissioners Court in June 2020.

Stormwater detention basins reduce flooding risks and damages during heavy rain events by safely storing excess stormwater and slowly releasing it back to the bayou when the threat of flooding has passed.
