Harris Street drainage phase complete; east‑side drainage easement under negotiation with Huggins Ranch
Summary
Contractor completed 36‑inch drainage pipe installation on Harris Street first phase and sanitary sewer installation; detention pond excavation to begin. On the city's east side drainage (Fourth Street) project, staff and Huggins Ranch continue negotiations over an easement; a revised easement was sent May 6 and is under review.
Public works staff reported progress on two city infrastructure projects at the May 12 Fulshear Development Corporation meeting.
For the Harris Street project, the contractor has completed installation of the 36‑inch drainage pipes for the first phase (the stretch from FM 1093 to Second Street), except for two locations where utility conflicts remain; change orders are being processed to resolve those conflicts. Sanitary sewer line installation for the first phase is complete, and the contractor will begin excavation for a detention pond north of Fifth Street.
For the east‑side drainage (Fourth Street) project, staff said negotiations continue with Huggins Ranch over an easement required for the drainage pipe east of Houston Street. The landowner provided a revised easement agreement on May 6, and city staff are reviewing it. Staff told the board they will include a consolidated CIP/drainage project update in next month’s packet to give the EDC a bird’s‑eye view of ongoing infrastructure work.
Board members asked for a simple packet link or page that could be shared with residents to explain which projects the EDC supports and where tax dollars are directed; staff agreed to include that in future materials.
