Our Mission:
As one of 10 major river authorities in Texas, our mission is to
develop, conserve, and protect the water resources of the San Jacinto
River watershed.
Divisions:
Lake Conroe – situated seven miles west of the City of
Conroe at the Lake Conroe Dam. Although the lake is exclusively
operated by the SJRA, the City of Houston owns a two-thirds interest
in the lake; the SJRA owns one-third. In addition to operating the
lake, this division handles the licensing, regulation and enforcement
functions related to on-site sewage systems around Lake Conroe.
Because Lake Conroe is a major recreational facility, the division
also approves licenses, and inspects boat sanitation, piers, boat-slips,
boathouses, marinas, etc. as well as collects annual fees and rentals
for these facilities.
The Woodlands – located in southern
Montgomery County, The Woodlands Division provides water supply
and wastewater treatment services from centralized facilities to
the 60,000-person community. To provide these services, the SJRA
operates three wastewater treatment facilities with numerous pump
stations, water wells, water storage tanks and distribution facilities.
Highlands – located in East
Harris County where the SJRA owns and operates a pump station at
Lake Houston. Raw water from the lake is diverted into an extensive
38-mile system of canals and a 1400-acre reservoir for delivery
to customers such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company,
and others pursuant to long-term water supply contracts.
Early Warning ALERT system data comes from remote automatic sensors. The SJRA assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of this data. |
