Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $300,000 contract renewal with DL Glover Utilities to clean and regrade drainage ditches in the Hardy Aldine Camp area of Precinct 2. This work happens from September 2026 to September 2027. Proper drainage protects our neighborhoods from flooding during heavy rains. The Hardy Aldine area sits in northwest Harris County, where good drainage systems keep homes and businesses safe from water damage. When ditches get clogged with debris or become shallow over time, rainwater cannot flow properly. This creates flooding risks for families and damages property. The county maintains these drainage systems to protect residents and their investments. This contract shows Harris County's commitment to flood prevention infrastructure. The contractor exceeded diversity goals, with 29.43% participation from minority and women-owned businesses compared to the 9.9% target. This creates economic opportunities for local entrepreneurs while maintaining essential services. Residents can track this work through Harris County Commissioners Court meetings. If you live in Precinct 2 and notice drainage problems in your area, contact your precinct commissioner's office. You can also attend public meetings where commissioners discuss infrastructure projects. These meetings happen regularly and welcome public input on community needs.
