Design work and land acquisition for a new water transmission line, known as the Southeast Transmission Line, that runs from southeast Houston to League City continues and is expected to finish in 2024, Public Works Director Jody Hooks said.
Construction on the new water line is expected to bid in 2025 and continue through 2028, Hooks said.
"[The Southeast Transmission Line] will expand capacity for future growth and restore reliability to the primary water supply line serving League City’s east and west side service areas," Hooks said.
The new water line will replace an existing 42-inch water line, which has been in service since 1972 and has experienced multiple failures over the last 10 years as it has reached the end of its expected service life, Hooks said. The water line carries most of League City's water from the Southeast Water Purification Plant in South Houston, Community Impact previously reported.
