As previously posted, the District is participating with LID 19 and MUD 115 (the Riverstone Districts) in the construction of a second pump station along Steepbank Creek which will provide approximately 200,000 gpm additional pumping capacity for extreme rainfall events coincident with high Brazos River events.

This project has been under construction for approximately two years at this time and has experienced two significant delays. The first is a delay in the installation of the permanent electrical service equipment (transformer and meter) by CenterPoint Energy. The second delay was caused by an act of vandalism and theft late last year, which damaged several pieces of equipment and wiring.

The revised expected completion date is late Summer, 2026.

The District is undertaking safety, security and site improvements to the existing outfall structure from the District’s lake into Steep Bank Creek. This site is just south of Double Lakes Drive.

The improvements will include electrical service for the gate lift motors, site lighting for emergency operations, safety railing, security/monitoring cameras and rainfall/elevation gages to aid in emergency operations. This project is projected to begin in the summer of 2026 and be completed by early 2027.
