Keep Our Storm Drains Clean
Street drains are critical to keeping neighborhoods from flooding when it rains; when leaves collect in street gutters and block drains, water can back up and cause ponding that can flood yards and homes. You can help prevent flooding in our neighborhood with a few small maintenance actions on your property.
Keep leaves and debris out of drains:
- Avoid piling yard waste such as fallen leaves on your property where it could wash into city drains. Keep yard waste in a waste bin or other container.
- Use a rake or broom to remove leaves and debris that may collect on the tops of storm drains, and then place the material in your yard waste container.

Desilting Underneath Kingwood Bridges
HOUSTONÂ –Â Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin would like to make Kingwood area residents aware Houston Public Works maintenance crews are performing desilting under certain bridges in Kingwood. Crews began desilting underneath the Kingwood Drive bridge over Bens Branch on Monday, August 23. This work is being funded through the City’s general maintenance and operation funds.
The scope of work includes removing accumulated silt and sediment from underneath the bridge and in the immediate vicinity of the bridge apron. Once crews are finished at this location, they will perform desilting underneath the Kingwood Drive bridge over the Kingwood Diversion Ditch. These specific bridges are being addressed in partnership with Harris County Flood Control District to complement their recent desilting efforts on Bens Branch and Kingwood Diversion Ditch.
Crews mobilized on-site Monday, August 23 and the project is expected to be completed by Friday, September 10, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place from 7:00 A.M. – 5:30 P.M., Monday through Friday. Residents should be aware of possible lane closures and delays when traveling through this area.
As a result of the construction activities, the guardrail on the south side of the bridge has been removed due to a lack of access to the work area. Safety measures are in place while work is going on. Please be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that may be put in place on-site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone.
