You may be aware that groundbreaking for the expansion project took place in April this year. Please see the link below for that article.

This article outlines the update of the progress for this project as of last week of July 2021.

Installation of the new pump discharge water duct is well under way. A cut in the levee was needed to initiate this work. However, after installing the required civil work for the new duct outlet, the levee is rebuilt to about 70% of the original height and thus LID is not exposed to the riverside of the levee. In near future, the levee will be built back to 100% of the original height, above the newly installed duct.

The pictures below will give you a visual indication of the work under progress as of last week of July 2021.

Please feel free to inquire if you need further information.

The expansion project is progressing satisfactorily. The current persistent rainfall has impacted the progress in the field to some extent but is not a major issue yet.

The photos below will give you a visual update on the ongoing work progress. Please feel free to inquire if you need more information.

The Brazos river is rising due to water flow from upstream and continued rainfall over the Brazos river catchment area. The current river level projections indicate that LID 19 may partially or fully lose gravity flow of rain water to the Brazos in the coming days.

If this condition occurs, we are fully prepared to start our pumps to remove the rain water out of LID 19. Under the current projected scenario, we are fully equipped to avoid any structural flooding across LID 19. It is possible that some street flooding may occur, depending on rainfall intensity over LID 19 while the gravity flow is restricted. If circumstances change, we will keep you apprised of the same.

Please pay attention and be safe when driving and never drive over flooded streets. If possible, please park your cars off the road at a higher level to avoid any potential damage from street flooding.
