Project Description

This project will stabilize and expand a stormwater detention basin located east of Greenhouse Road on Dinner Creek, a tributary of Langham Creek in the Addicks Reservoir watershed of northwest Harris County. Stormwater detention basins reduce flooding risks by temporarily taking in stormwater during heavy rain events, and releasing the water back to the bayou when the threat of flooding has passed.

The Dinner Creek Stormwater Detention Basin originally was excavated by a subdivision developer and is now owned and maintained by the Flood Control District. The Conceptual Design Report was finalized in the Fall of 2019 and the plan was presented to the public on October 10, 2019. The design stage of the project is coming to a close in fall/winter 2022. Advertising for the construction stage is on hold until the Flood Control District can locate additional resources or a funding partner. There is an on-going excavation and removal contract between Flood Control and a general contractor to help reduce costs to the final buildout. As of September 2022, approximately 700,00 cubic yards of soil have been removed from the site so far.

Project Lifecycle

Every flood damage reduction project is unique. Yet each project begins and ends, with common and predictable milestones along the way. Whether a project moves forward – and how quickly – depends on many factors, including the availability of funding at each milestone, shifting community priorities for flood damage reduction, and other changing circumstances (such as the price of trees or concrete) from year to year.
