At a Nov. 18 special meeting, Katy City Council approved a $863,875 contract with King Solution Services LLC for water and sewer line improvements in the Danover area including Danover Road, Roberts Road, Barley Street, North Street and Armstrong Lane, according to Community Development Block Grant project summaries.
According to agenda documents, the improvements include:
- Rehabilitation of 3,100 linear feet of sewer lines
- Installation of 4,600 linear feet of water lines
The contract also includes $174,995 in engineering and construction phases administered by ARKK Engineers as well as $86,387 in contingency funds, according to agenda documents.
The background
Katy was awarded the project funds in June 2023 from the Texas General Land Office’s regional mitigation program, which aims to improve street, water and drainage facilities to reduce risks related to hurricanes, tropical storms and depressions, flooding, wind, and other hazards, Community Impact reported.
The federally funded program provides funds to cities to serve low- to moderate-income individuals.
Looking ahead
Construction is slated to begin in early January with conclusion expected in July, City Engineer David Kasper said.
