(UI) — League City is investing $184.42 million in water system improvements and $123.68 million in wastewater upgrades as part of its FY2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The city operates ten booster pump stations, four elevated storage tanks, nine groundwater wells, two wastewater treatment plants, and 76 lift stations, along with extensive water and sewer pipelines.
The Project Management group is overseeing various maintenance and new construction projects across different stages of study, design, and construction.
Key Projects Underway
Sewer system rehabilitation
The East Main 24-inch force main replacement addresses aging infrastructure along FM 2094, Robinson Bayou, and Coryell St. Emergency repairs have been completed, and final construction is set for April 2025.
The Jarbo Bayou force main replacement is also complete, with testing and demolition of the old line finished. Final restoration is ongoing, weather permitting.
Waterline replacements
Aging waterlines in Pecan Forest, Highland Terrace, and Clear Creek Heights are being replaced, covering 23,000 linear feet. Work in Clear Creek Heights and Highland Terrace is complete, while construction of an 8-inch waterline on Boden St., Berns St., and Abilene St. is expected to finish by March 2025.
Water system connections
The Mary Lane and Tallow Forest areas, previously served by WCID #1, are now connected to the city’s water system. The force main installation is complete, and lift station equipment is expected from Sweden in February.
East Main Lift Station upgrade
Modifications to convert the East Main Lift Station into a submersible system will enhance reliability during storms. The project includes new pumps, piping, and safety features. Construction is pending equipment delivery.
