Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $1.5 million contract with Texas Dewatering, LLC to repair dangerous erosion along Rolling Fork, a waterway that helps protect our communities from flooding. This work is part of our Flood Control District's ongoing efforts to maintain the channels and bayous that keep floodwater moving safely through Harris County. When channels erode, they can overflow during storms, putting nearby homes and businesses at risk. Rolling Fork serves neighborhoods in northwest Harris County, helping drain stormwater from residential areas. The repairs will stabilize the channel walls and restore proper water flow. This contract includes a 17% goal for minority and women-owned business participation, ensuring our tax dollars support diverse local contractors. The Commissioners Court oversees these flood control investments because flooding affects everyone in our region. We've seen how damaged channels can cause catastrophic flooding during hurricanes and heavy rains. These repairs protect property values, keep families safe, and maintain our region's ability to handle severe weather. Residents can track this project's progress through Harris County Flood Control District updates. To stay informed about flood control projects in your area, sign up for Harris County alerts or attend Commissioners Court meetings.
