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.
