Commissioner Lesley Briones, Commissioner Tom Ramsey, and the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) hosted a groundbreaking on Tuesday, celebrating the start of the Addicks Reservoir Rehabilitation and Restoration Project –one of the largest flood infrastructure maintenance efforts to date.  

The $25 million project is a part of the HCFCD maintenance program approved by voters in November 2024.  

The project will repair approximately eight miles of channels, remove sediment, stabilize erosion, and restore flood control capacity within the Addicks Reservoir system.  

Commissioner Lesley Briones is committed to creating a flood resilient county that keeps residents safe before, during, and after any storm.
