Storm Water Detention and Drainage Area (Golf Course) Information

The CLCWA purchased the Clear Lake Golf Course on May 6, 2011 for $6.25 million. The future plans are to use the facility to improve drainage in the Clear Lake area. The Water Authority will work with Harris County and engineers to design detention facilities. Once a design is in place, CLCWA hopes to partner with the City of Houston and Harris County Precinct 2 to help fund the project. Due to the effect the economy has had on all levels of government finance, CLCWA Board of Directors expect this project to take several years.

Harris County currently mows and maintains the flood control ditches and will continue to do so. The CLCWA has taken over the mowing of the 178 acres. The schedule is twice a month from March through September, and once a month from October through February.

Many residents have eagerly come forward with ideas and suggestions. If you have a suggestion, please send an email to: directors@clcwa.org.


Have You Noticed Multi-Colored Fire Hydrants in the Area?

The CLCWA has been color coding the tops, also known as bonnets, of fire hydrants in the Authority to coordinate with water main sizes. The primary purpose for this is to assist Fire Departments in quickly determining water main sizes when connecting to fire hydrants in an emergency. Secondly, this can assist CLCWA’s repair crews to more effectively determine what tools and equipment will be needed for a repair.

The following are color codes and water main sizes:
Red – 4”       Yellow – 6”       White – 8”       Green – 10-20”       Orange – 24-60”
