What happened
Pearland City Council voted unanimously at its Nov. 10 meeting to award a $2.1 million design contract to Pearland-based engineering consultant Freese & Nichols for the project.
The firm will conduct flow monitoring, closed-circuit television inspections, smoke testing and manhole condition assessments across the two basins.
Engineers will then prepare rehabilitation plans and bid documents for trenchless repairs, including cured-in-place pipe lining, joint grouting and manhole sealing.
Looking ahead
Design work is expected to begin in late 2025, and construction bidding is anticipated to begin by the end of the year, according to city documents.
