The nearest major drainage facility for Klein Public Utility District is Seals Gully which flows into Cypress Creek, then to Spring Creek into the San Jacinto River, and finally into Lake Houston.
Potable water is provided by the district. By executing the Petition for Consent, the district has acknowledged that all plans for the construction of water conveyance, wastewater collection, and storm water collection systems within the district must be approved by the City of Houston prior to their construction.
The Utility District Review Committee recommends that the subject petition be approved.
