Harris County Flood Control District seeks approval for a $6.75M EPA grant amendment for San Jacinto River Watershed work in Precinct 3.
The Harris County Flood Control District is asking Commissioners Court to accept a grant amendment with the U.S. EPA. The change adds $6,750,000 in federal funds through the State and Tribal Assistance Grant Program for work in the San Jacinto River Watershed in Precinct 3. Harris County must provide a $1,687,500 local match. The project period would extend to August 31, 2028. Commissioners Court is set to vote on this item on July 9, 2026.
More federal money would be added to a flood control project in Precinct 3's San Jacinto River Watershed. The county must also spend $1.69M in local funds to receive it. Residents near that watershed may see project work continue through 2028.
