Why it matters
Better flood protection keeps your family safe and protects your home from water damage. The Cypress area is growing fast, and we need stronger defenses against heavy rains and storms that can flood neighborhoods.
If this passes
A new basin will be built to catch and hold stormwater during heavy rains. This means less flooding for homes and businesses in northwest Harris County.
If this does not pass
The area continues to rely on current flood protection, which may not be enough as the Cypress area keeps growing and developing.
