Construction Completion Notice: Mud Gully (Beamer Ditch) Channel Conveyance Improvements Project

12/26/2024

The Harris County Flood Control District and Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate completion of the Mud Gully Channel Conveyance Improvements Project, which is located in the Clear Creek watershed within Harris County Precinct 2.

The channel conveyance improvements for Mud Gully extended the concrete channel lining from Sagedowne Lane to just past the Beamer Road bridge. The project also widened the channel to 45 feet and installed concrete lining to stabilize the channel, increasing its capacity to reduce flooding risks and damage during heavy rains.

"This project is a prime example of how regional partnerships can make a real difference in protecting the lives of everyday Houstonians," said Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia. "For far too long, communities downstream, like those in our Bay Area, have been especially vulnerable to flooding. By rolling up our sleeves and improving drainage, we're ensuring that the neighborhoods hardest hit by floods are better prepared for the major storms we know are on the way.”

The Mud Gully Channel Conveyance Improvements project was funded and constructed as part of the Clear Creek Federal Flood Risk Management Project, which is a partnership project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

"This project is an important step forward in reducing flood risks for our community. The channel conveyance improvements work in tandem with the South Belt Stormwater Detention Basin, which was completed in 2022,” said Flood Control District Executive Director Dr. Tina Petersen. “Together, these projects reduce flood risks and lay the groundwork for future investments in the Clear Creek Federal Project.”
