The proposed District is located in the vicinity of Bissonnet Street, Cook Road, Beechnut Street, and South Kirkwood Road.
The Utility District Review Committee has evaluated the application with respect to wastewater collection and treatment, potable water distribution, storm water conveyance, and other public services.
The District will be provided with wastewater treatment by the Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 111 Wastewater Treatment Facility. Potable water will be provided by the City.
The nearest major drainage facility for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 584 is Brays Bayou, which flows into the Houston Ship Channel. The proposed tract is within the 100 year floodplain (4%) and is not within the 500 year floodplain.
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 prior to their construction.
The Utility District Review Committee recommends that the subject petition be approved.
