The new storm sewer system shall include storm sewer leads, storm manholes, inlets, and related appurtenances within City right-of-way throughout the project limits as identified in the Contract Drawings.

The Project is located in Northeast Houston (Key Maps 296 S, 296 T and 296 U) approximately 24 miles north of Downtown. The proposed project is in an area of mixed commercial and residential development in Council District 'E'. This area was constructed gradually over time with buildings and homes built as early as the 1910's and as late as the 1990's. The purpose of this project along Northpark Drive is to promote better pedestrian and vehicular safety and mobility, reduce the risk of repetitive loss and structural flooding and to provide an unimpeded facility to be used as a potential evacuation route for Kingwood residents.
