Storm Debris and Drain Blockage
To reduce flooding and ensure that storm water continues to drain uninhibited, especially after a large storm such as Hurricane Beryl, the District’s storm water drainage facilities must remain unblocked. The most impactful things you can do to help are as follows:
- REPORT DEBRIS AND DAMAGED FENCES to the Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 3 (“Precinct 3”) debris hotline at 713-274-3880. You can also call Precinct 3’s dispatch at 713-274-3100 if the debris hotline is busy.
- Manually clear storm inlets from visible debris.
- Do not place, pile or store any collected storm debris near storm water drainage facilities such as storm drains, manholes or culverts.
- If possible, do not park cars on the street near or across from storm debris piles. This ensures that any trucks and equipment used by Precinct 3 for cleanup will be able to access the debris.
