City of Houston Public Works to Make Major Water Main Repair

City of Houston Public Works to Make Major Water Main Repair in the 2900 Block of Starmount 

Contractors with the City of Houston Public Works and Engineering Department are performing an emergency repair of a large 5-foot diameter water transmission line leak in the 2900 block of Starmount. These contractors, as well as City staff, are determining the exact location of the leak and extent of repair required. The cause of the leak is unknown at this time.

Public Works has shut down the intersection of Starmount and Steelman to all traffic.  Residents in affected areas may notice low or no water pressure until the repair is completed. Affected areas include the immediate vicinity of the repair, as well as the area roughly bounded by Telephone Road (east), Weslayan/Stella Link (west), W. Orem (south) and Brays Bayou (north).

The safe delivery of water is our main goal and we are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Please call 311 to report any water outages. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
