Officials with the Harris County Flood Control District began holding public meetings in each of the county's 23 watersheds in June.

The purpose of each meeting is to describe projects that could be candidates for funding in the 2018 Flood Control District bond program and to solicit residents' input on other flooding issues that should be addressed.

These meetings have been declared to be special meetings of Harris County Commissioners Court so that members of Commissioners Court may attend and participate.

Brief opening remarks will begin promptly at 6 p.m. but the public is encouraged to come anytime between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. for the Open House portion of the meeting and to provide input to elected officials and the Flood Control District.

The focus of this meeting is the San Jacinto River watershed. (NOTE: Should the venue reach maximum capacity, the opening remarks would occur twice - at 6 p.m. and at 7 p.m.)
