Why it matters
Flooding can damage your home and trap your family indoors. This project builds underground pipes to drain rainwater faster in Edgewood Village East, helping keep streets safe and homes dry during heavy Houston rains.
If this passes
Construction planning begins. Residents in Edgewood Village East get better flood protection, drier streets during storms, and potentially higher home values.
If this does not pass
Neighborhoods keep existing drainage. Flooding risk stays the same during heavy rains, and streets and homes remain more vulnerable to water damage.
