HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
Nassau Bay's new art monument is scheduled to be installed on NASA 1 this year, across from the Hilton NASA Clear Lake. The conceptual idea came about in 2016, and the City is happy to announce the monument will be lit in June of this year. The monument was designed and constructed to honor the relationship between NASA Johnson Space Center and the City of Nassau Bay. The City's origin story is centered around developing a community for the professionals that were moving across the country to work at NASA. The monument's light will shine into the sky as a celebratory beacon for many more years of space exploration. This is a joint project with NASA's Johnson Space Center, TxDOT, Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia, Texas Representative Dennis Paul, SWA Group, and the City of Nassau Bay. This art monument was funded with revenue from the hotel occupancy tax fund. This dedicated revenue can only be used to promote tourism and the arts within the City.
YOUR $2 FIRE & EMS DONATIONS AT WORK The City of Nassau Bay Utility Department provides residents with the opportunity to make a voluntary $2.00 donation to the Nassau Bay Volunteer Fire Department (NBVFD) and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) with the payment of each water bill. Donations are used by these departments for tools, resources, and capital items to better provide emergency services to our residents. During the past year, the Volunteer Fire Department was able to use this money to purchase audio visual equipment for the new Fire & EMS Station, a floor scrubber for the new station, an X-Carve machine, and repaired and equipped a Chevy Tahoe that was transferred from the Police Department to EMS. Residents interested in donating to the NBVFD and EMS may simply add $2.00 to their payment when paying the “Total Due” amount on their water bill. Your donation may be considered a tax-deductible charitable donation because the City is a qualified entity and the donation is being used for a restricted public purpose. Please contact your tax professional for more information about tax deductible charitable donations. For more information about the NBVFD, please visit www.nassaubayfd.com.
STORM PUMPS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Nassau Bay's Infrastructure Committee and the Public Works Department's Street and Storm Water Division has been aggressively making improvements to the City's storm water pump stations over the past year. Many engineering design meetings were conducted, along with site meetings on a monthly basis. Funding for the project was provided by Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia, the Nassau Bay Economic Development Corporation, and the Nassau Bay Redevelopment Authority. The project included the installation of seven new non-clog pumps, variable frequency drives, 10-inch discharge pipes, control panels and beacon pump indicator lights. All work was performed in-house by the Public Works Department, which was a tremendous cost savings to the residents. The Storm Pumps Improvement Project has proven to discharge more water from the streets, which provides passable streets for residents, Police, Fire, and EMS vehicles. A Storm Water and Sewer Survey was conducted by the City which indicated few street flooding concerns in the City. In follow up calls placed to residents, six residents that previously reported street flooding did not experience street flooding on May 15th when the City experienced 3.6 inches of rain. The Infrastructure Committee and the Public Works Department continue to improve drainage in the City and is now in the second phase for design and engineering of back-up pumps.
