In an effort to keep you informed about the Harris County Flood Control District’s continuing improvements in the Clear Creek watershed, we are pleased to announce that Phase 1 of the Morningside Place Drainage Improvements Project is complete. Construction contractors will demobilize over the coming weeks.
This project aims to improve local drainage issues and reduce the risk of flooding in the Morningside Place subdivision, which is located south of the Sam Houston Tollway and north of Fellows Road.
The Flood Control District, in partnership with the Harris County Water Control and Improvement District Number 89, began construction on Phase 1, shown in purple in the map above, in August 2023. Phase 1 included the construction of new outfalls to improve drainage from the street into the subdivision stormwater detention basin.
Phase 2, shown in orange on the map above, will focus on performing improvements to the storm sewers and relocate the flap gate within Tributary A135-01-00, which will result in lowering the water surface elevation of the subdivision stormwater detention basins. Phase 2 construction will begin after the acquisition of necessary right-of-way and easements are complete.
