Two years after Harris County voters approved an additional $100 million in annual maintenance funding, the Harris County Flood Control District is highlighting how that investment is supporting maintenance efforts across the county.

Through its new Impact in Action series, the Flood Control District will take residents behind the scenes to meet the employees doing the work, explore ongoing maintenance projects and learn how increased funding is helping maintain Harris County’s drainage infrastructure.

Jason Krahn, Infrastructure Director for the Flood Control District, explained that the additional funding means more crews, equipment, technology and maintenance projects throughout Harris County.

“Some of the things that folks don’t realize about maintaining our bayous and our channels is about making sure we’re in that ever-ready state,” Krahn said.

Regular maintenance plays an important role in reducing flood risk. Removing debris, clearing trash and addressing maintenance needs help keep bayous and drainage channels functioning as intended, especially during heavy rainfall.
