Texas Water Development Board Approves Financing for Taylor Gully Project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2021

HOUSTON – Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin is happy to announce, during the May 6th meeting of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), board members approved providing financing to the City of Houston for the proposed Taylor Gully project. The funds are being provided from the TWDB Flood Infrastructure Fund in the amount of $10,100,000.

The Harris County Flood Control District (Flood Control District), Lake Houston Redevelopment Authority (TIRZ 10), and City of Houston, teamed together to conduct a drainage study for the streams within the greater Kingwood area. As part of this drainage study, F-14 General Drainage Improvements Near Kingwood, Taylor Gully was identified as one of the five streams in their scope to investigate.

The proposed project, along Taylor Gully G103-80-03, consists of channel improvements that will upgrade the conveyance capacity of the channel to provide a 100-year LOS. The improvements include channel widening, deepening, and lining. The project would construct a concrete rectangular channel in the center of the existing channel while maintaining the 3:1 grass-lined side slopes which are in good condition. The recommendation aims to minimize channel slope impacts and maintain existing channel banks, with proposed improvements. The project will allow capturing increased sheet flow from Montgomery County, at the upstream end of Taylor Gully, which primarily floods due to riverine conditions.

The project will benefit more than 400 structures, 387 directly benefitted from 100-year stream inundations. An additional 62 structures would be indirectly benefited. This project is one of several projects envisioned in the Kingwood Drainage Analysis. Once the funds are received, the project team will begin on the design and permitting phase portion with an overall timeline for 3-4 years, weather permitting.

Lake Houston Safety Plan

Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin is proud to announce, knowing your zone is already making an impact, as just this past weekend a 9-1-1 caller reported a kayaker in trouble on the Lake and knew they were located in the Orange zone.

The dispatcher on the call was able to get first responders to the kayaker in trouble, wearing a life jacket, pulling them and their boat out of the lake within twenty minutes. The purpose of the Lake Houston Safety Plan is to provide both Lake Houston residents and visiting recreational users with information that will prepare them to better identify their location on the lake and how to best report an incident to 9-1-1.

The District E Office is actively working with communities on the lake to distribute this information. To print your own resources you may visit the District E website here. Should you like to request a presentation for your group (HOA, Civic Club etc.) or receive resources directly please email the District E Office at districte@houstontx.gov
