The ongoing construction along N. Eldridge is a Harris County drainage project. It is managed by the Harris County Flood Control District through Precinct 3, with C.E. Barker as the contractor. The Homeowners Association has no authority over the project schedule, the crews, or the day-to-day work — but we want every resident to know exactly who does, and how to reach them. Your voice carries real weight with these offices, especially when concerns are specific and documented.

How to Make Your Concern Count
- Be specific. Note the date, the location, and exactly what you observed (for example, a short workday, a line strike, or a blocked driveway).
- Keep a simple log. Dates, brief notes, and photos are persuasive when shared with the Commissioner’s office and Flood Control.
- Call or use the online service request. A phone call reaches a person quickly; the online form creates a written record you can refer back to.
- Be courteous and clear. State the problem, how it affects you, and what you are asking for.
- Let the HOA know too. We are gathering residents’ concerns and can send a collective letter to reinforce your outreach.
