Master Drainage Concept Plan

The development of a Bellaire Master Drainage Concept Plan was presented to Bellaire City Council on December 17, 2018. The presentation highlighted regional efforts with Harris County Flood Control (HCFC) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to study the causes of flooding in and around Bellaire. The concept plan is a precursor to the design of significant flood control improvements, potentially funded in partnership with other entities such as HCFC and TxDOT.

Debris and Storm Sewers

During the winter season, a common sight around the city is leaves and other debris collecting along the street curbs. Unfortunately, leaves can clog storm inlets and storm sewers which may contribute to street flooding. Public Works regularly inspects storm sewers and inlets for debris and has a program in place to make repairs as needed.

In preparation for a potential flooding event, the City inspects storm inlets, construction sites and removes debris from curbsides and roadways. Homeowners can help with this by properly disposing of leaves and cut grass. Please remember, nothing should ever be dumped or disposed of in the public streets, ditches or storm sewer inlets.

For more information, please contact the Bellaire Public Works Department.

Christmas Tree Recycling

Curbside tree recycling is scheduled for Wednesday, January 2, 2019, and Thursday, January 3, 2019. Trees not placed on the curbside for pick up on January 2 or January 3 may be dropped off at the designated collection area located at the Northeast corner of Baldwin Ave. and Edith St. until Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Place your tree in the parking lot near the tree recycling sign. Please remove all ornaments, tinsel, tree stands, and lights before you recycle. Flocked trees will not be recycled.

Trees will also be collected for disposal during the normal brush and limb waste collection days.
