Harris County Flood Control District

The Flood Control District is a special purpose district providing flood damage reduction projects with appropriate regard for community and natural values

We’ve taken a program that began as a list of concepts and grounded it in reality to maximize benefits, leverage partnerships, and keep the promise we made to voters in 2018. Read more about the future of the 2018 Bond Program: https://t.co/4BBuLlq2IA…

@HarrisCoPct2 Next: The crew has moved to a nearby tributary west of Beltway 8 to do the same type of work. One project finished... the next one underway. Our maintenance team never stops moving! @HarrisCoPct2 #MaintenanceMatters #ImpactInAction

For some maintenance projects, the need was clear; the funds just weren’t there. Increased dedicated maintenance funding has changed that! #MaintenanceMatters #ImpactInAction

[Harris County Flood Control District @hcfcd]

@HarrisCoPct2 Now complete: South of Woodforest Blvd., inside Beltway 8. Crews repaired the slope using rock trenches, which help stabilize the channel and limit further erosion. @HarrisCoPct2 #MaintenanceMatters #ImpactInAction

Did you find all the words? Hurricane season ends Nov. 30, but flooding can happen year-round in Harris County. Stay informed and prepared! Sign up for free Flood Warning System alerts at https://t.co/lEpV86UObE.

Did you know? A healthy flood control channel isn't supposed to be bare! Native vegetation can help reduce erosion, stabilize banks, and support stormwater flow.

In the city of Highlands, we recently removed sediment and repaired erosion along 11,000 feet of channel — or about 2 miles — from East Houston Street to Barbers Hill Road. @HarrisCoPct2 #MaintenanceMatters

Partnership in action! This week, @hcfcd and @TXGLO toured five CDBG-funded construction sites and shared expertise on project closeout.
Together, we're advancing flood risk reduction projects across Harris County.

Two years ago today, Harris County voters approved a measure that increased funding for Harris County Flood Control District maintenance by $100 million annually. #MaintenanceMatters #ImpactInAction

In the coming weeks, you’ll meet the people behind the work, see progress across the county, and learn what’s next for the maintenance program. This is Impact in Action. #MaintenanceMatters #ImpactInAction

Picking up after your pets helps keep our waterways clean! Pet waste can wash into storm drains and carry bacteria into local bayous. Always scoop it up and dispose of it in the trash. Small actions make a difference!

What is the Flood Control District doing to reduce flooding?

A maintenance project years in the making is now complete inside the Addicks Reservoir, where crews removed sediment, stabilized eroded areas, and repaired concrete lining to restore multiple channels to their original capacity. #MaintenanceMatters @HCPrecinct4

Only 32 days left in hurricane season, but flooding can happen year-round!

In @HarrisCoPct3, maintenance crews are repairing erosion/slope failures, removing sediment buildup & replacing damaged outfall pipes on two Jackson Bayou tributaries.
Construction on this deferred maintenance project is anticipated to be complete in Q3 2027.
