City Council approved north Houston-based firm V&S Construction to build the city’s Northshire Lift Station Upgrade and Wastewater System Improvements Project. The company bid about $10.5 million for the project, according to Sept. 25 meeting documents.

Humble’s Northshire Lift Station project includes wastewater system upgrades so that the city's sewer service can handle the growth occurring in northwest Humble, according to meeting documents. The project work includes repairing pipes and electric systems in the lift station and adding or replacing sewer lines.

The project was originally estimated to cost $11 million to construct, City Manager Jason Stuebe said.

On Sept. 25, City Council also authorized city leaders to select Larry Young Paving Inc. for $314,960 to upgrade traffic lights at three Humble-area intersections. In May, $69,800 was approved for engineering services.

As previously reported, the project will target “outdated and deteriorating equipment” at the Humble intersections of:
  • South Houston Avenue and Isaacks Road
  • North Houston Avenue and Townsen Boulevard
  • West Townsen Boulevard and Walmart Entrance Drive
The estimated construction cost of the traffic light upgrades is also less than what was budgeted, Stuebe said.
