Projects 39 and 40 Community Engagement Meeting
2026-03-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Spring High School – Auditorium, 19428 I-45 North, Spring, TX, 77373, United States
The North Harris County Regional Water Authority (The Authority) will host a Community Engagement Meeting for the upcoming projects known as “Projects 39 and 40.” The purpose of this meeting is to share project information with residents and answer questions.
The Authority is under a governmental mandate from the Harris Galveston Subsidence District to convert portions of Harris County within our boundaries from groundwater to surface water. Projects 39 and 40 are a key component of the Authority’s Groundwater Reduction Plan to achieve the mandated conversion.
After conducting a preliminary engineering study, the proposed alignments for Projects 39 and 40 were determined to be most feasible as shown on the attached map. These alignment selections considered several factors such as minimizing the impact on structures, total number of easements required, most cost-effective route to deliver surface water to the different public water providers, and the ability to maintain the proposed water line in the future.
Community engagement and communication is an important component of Projects 39 and 40, and we invite your participation.
The meeting will begin with a brief presentation to share project information and updates, followed by a moderated Q&A session with the Authority’s team members. Residents will be able to submit questions and comments during and after the meeting. We hope you can attend the Community Engagement Meeting.
This meeting will not be available by zoom.

Public Hearing: Projects 39 and 40 Park Impacts
2026-03-02 18:00 - 19:00 | NHCRWA Office
Projects 39 and 40 Park Impacts
Projects 39 and 40 are the final two project series necessary for the Authority to achieve HGSD’s 60% conversion mandate. These projects will connect 32 water plants to the Authority’s surface water delivery system. In late 2024, the Authority initiated a routing study for Projects 39 and 40. The engineering consultant evaluated various alternatives for routing pipelines to each of the 32 water plants and ultimately developed a recommended route for each pipeline segment. There are six public parks that intersect with the recommended route, as seen below.

Projects 39 and 40 Park Impact FAQs:

Which parks are impacted by the projects? The Authority needs to install underground water lines within 6 public parks. Those are: Bridgestone MUD Park, John Pundt Park, Spring Grove Park, Charlie Gant Park, HCWCID 136 Nature Trails, and Timber Lane Park.
Will there be any long-term impacts on the park? No. Parks may be impacted during construction activities; however, there will not be any long-term impacts. Park functionality will be fully restored to its pre-existing condition once construction is done. For example, if the pipe installation impacts a trailway system, that trailway may be temporarily unavailable during construction but will then be fully restored to its original condition or better after the water line is installed.
Will I be able to see the pipes in the park? No. Our pipes are installed 6+ feet below ground and will not be visible in the park.
How might the park be impacted during construction? The Authority will limit construction activities to only those areas necessary for installation of the water line(s) and plans to install them as quickly as possible to restore full functionality of the park. Portions of the park affected by the construction may be temporarily closed.
Why is the Authority doing these projects? The Authority must install these water lines to meet the HGSD conversion mandates. For more information on the HGSD conversion mandates, please visit: https://hgsubsidence.org/
Will the Authority restore park amenities after construction is complete? Yes, the Authority will restore any amenities impacted by the construction.
When will the construction in the park happen? How long will it take? Our projects are currently under design. We anticipate construction will not begin before 2028. Most parks will be impacted for 1 month or less, once construction begins. For updates on construction start dates, please use the Contact Us button on the website or call our main office.
How can someone provide feedback on the project? We welcome feedback on our projects at any time. To provide feedback, please use the Contact Us button on the website or call our main office.
