Harris County Commissioners Court approved changes to a contract with Lecon, Inc. for fixing drainage systems in the northern part of our county. This contract helps maintain the pipes, ditches, and channels that move rainwater away from our neighborhoods during storms.
The Harris County Flood Control District manages these repairs to prevent flooding in our homes and streets. The contract includes goals for hiring minority and women-owned businesses, though current participation is below the target. These drainage repairs matter because Houston gets heavy rains that can flood quickly.
When drainage systems work properly, water flows away from neighborhoods instead of backing up into yards and streets. This protects our homes, keeps roads open, and helps people get to work and school safely. The northern Harris County area includes communities like Humble, Kingwood, and parts of Spring.
You can also sign up for flood alerts and learn about your neighborhood's flood risk. The district holds public meetings where residents can ask questions about local drainage work.
