The city of Shenandoah announced Feb. 29 it had completed the rst phase of a project to bring water and sewer utilities to the community of Tamina. The project is funded by up to $21 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds and must be completed by the end of 2026, according to city o cials. Tamina utilities move forward

The background

Next steps

The unincorporated community of Tamina was founded in 1871 by formerly enslaved people after the end of the Civil War, Community Impact has previously reported. Previously, the community purchased whole- sale water through the Old Tamina Water Supply Corporation from the neighboring community of Lake Chateau Woods and used septic tanks, city ocials have said. Residents have sought sewer service for the community for more than a decade and hit several obstacles along the way in attempts to partner with neighboring entities, delaying the process. According to the Feb. 29 news release from Shenandoah, the community did not have „re sup- pression capabilities under the system previously used. The system will also provide „re hydrants, and some have already been installed, according to the release. Designs for the remainder of the project are being developed by Bleyl Engineering.

Now that the lines have been installed, the project will extend the utilities north and south of Tamina Road. A nal phase includes extending the utilities east of Johnson Road and connecting to Shenandoah infrastructure by the end of 2026. Plans for a future water plant have been submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Funding secured for Bear Branch Dam rehabilitation

San Jacinto River Authority ocials announced in a Feb. 26 press conference that a $5 million proj- ect to rehabilitate the Bear Branch Dam is moving forward following approval of a federal grant. What you need to know A total of $3.6 million in federal funding has been allocated to the SJRA to fund a complete rehabilita- tion of the Bear Branch Dam and reservoir, accord- ing to the SJRA. The SJRA monitors water quality in the San Jacinto basin, provides water to municipal utility districts and other entities, and operates the Lake Conroe Dam. The funding request was submitted by U.S Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R‡Houston, to address ‰ood mitigation eŠorts in south Montgomery County. The remaining $1.4 million will be locally funded in partnership with ‘ve municipal utility districts that are part of The Woodlands Water Agency. The scope of the project will include recon- struction of soil cement dams and redesign of the

spillway to better allow for drainage, SJRA Project Manager Briana Gallagher said. SJRA ocials said design on the project will start in late 2024, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026. Quotes of note “This project is critical for ‰ood mitigation eŠorts for the community because it will improve storm- water runoŠ drains to the reservoir,” Crenshaw said at the press conference. “This project will also positively aŠect neighborhoods along the corridor as mobility has been compromised in the past because of high water on neighborhood streets.” What’s next Design work is expected to begin in September. The Bear Branch Dam rehabilitation project is part of $374 million in water-related project needs for The Woodlands area identi‘ed in 2023 by SJRA.
