Three Lake Houston water projects underway

​​HOUSTON – City officials and area water agencies are pushing forward on three projects in response to a mandate from the Harris-Galvest​on Subsidence District to lessen groundwater usage and decrease subsidence.

The projects will include the:

• $1.77 billion Northeast Water Purification Plant expansion,

• $450 million Northeast Transmission Line, and 

• $380 million Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer project.

The Luce Bayou project will provide water to Lake Houston, from which the Northeast Water Purification Plant will transport surface water to the purification plant. 

The Luce Bayou project will wrap up late 2020 or early.

The  purification plant expansion began in fall 2017 and will be complete no later than 2025. 

The Northeast Transmission Line project began in summer 2018 and is set to be completed in fall 2022.
