Why This Project Matters

The City of Houston is investing in the rehabilitation of five wastewater lift stations—Bretshire, Ferguson Way, Bayfield, Hempstead, and Highland Meadow—to ensure reliable and efficient wastewater service for the surrounding communities. These upgrades are part of a broader commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure, protecting public health, and supporting the city’s growth.

1. Reliable Wastewater Infrastructure

Aging lift stations can pose significant risks to communities. By rehabilitating these facilities, Houston is reinforcing the reliability of its wastewater system—ensuring consistent service and reducing the chances of equipment failures, backups, or overflows.

2. Health and Safety

Properly functioning lift stations help prevent sewage overflows that can harm public health. These upgrades are a proactive step to protect neighborhoods from potential exposure to untreated wastewater, creating a safer and healthier environment for all residents.

3. Environmental Stewardship

Rehabilitation minimizes the risk of wastewater discharge into local waterways. These projects are vital to protecting Houston’s bayous, ecosystems, and downstream communities by ensuring wastewater is collected and transported without interruption.

4. Flood Resilience

As Houston continues to face intense rain events, updated lift stations provide better capacity to manage water flow. Enhancements—such as improved electrical systems and upgraded pumps—support the system’s ability to perform during storms, helping to reduce flood risk.

5. Future-Ready Systems

With continued population growth and urban development, Houston’s infrastructure must evolve. These rehabilitations position the city to meet increasing demand while extending the service life of critical assets—delivering long-term value to the community.
