Local Church Organized a CLCWA Storm Water Detention and Drainage Area Clean-up Day

On Saturday morning, November 12th, the Clear Creek Community Church (CCCC) participated in a community service project that helped clean-up the CLCWA Storm Water Detention and Drainage Area. About 500-600 members spent the morning leveling, removing brush, and clearing the sides of the ponds.

The CLCWA greatly appreciates the CCCC committing to such a large project, and we are extremely pleased with the results. Karl Garcia, Campus Pastor at the newest CCCC campus currently meeting at Clear Lake High School said, "This is a great opportunity for our congregation to have a real long term impact in beautification of a public area used by the residents of the community.”

Pictures of the event can be viewed at www.clcwa.org/cleanup.

The former golf course was purchased by the Clear Lake City Water Authority in April to preserve the property for drainage and detention purposes and would like to see it incorporated with other multiple uses that have yet to be planned. “We are excited that community groups and churches want to help us turn the land into a beautiful area that can be enjoyed by all our residents” said James Byrd, General Manager of the Water Authority. Byrd said that the Water Authority has begun working on long term plans for the property and will be coordinating with the county, City of Houston, and local residents as part of the planning in the near future.


CLC Elementary Robotics Team Takes Top Prize


Lego Team

 The Clear Lake City Elementary Thunderbotz Lego League Robotics Team won the first place trophy for innovative solution in a research presentation at the Lone Star FLL Championship Robotics Tournament held on Saturday, January 10th. They were competing against 91 other teams to win the award.

The team selected local flooding in the Clear Lake City area for their research. Information was provided by CLCWA Director John Branch concerning the flooding study conducted by the Water Authority and the action they took to acquire the former Clear Lake Golf Club property for the purpose of installing detention ponds to reduce home and street flooding.

Teacher/sponsor Kari Euker said the team researched detention ponds and how they can be built for dual use to include recreational amenities. Team members developed a survey and web posting to collect ideas from the community on what youth and adults would like to see designed into the concept.

In addition to the research, the team programmed robots to simulate the implementation of solutions for flooding and other climate related issues. These youth are to be commended for their initiative, desire to learn, and contributions to make their community a better place.
