Willow Fork Drainage District (“the District”)
was created by an Order of the Texas Water Commission, predecessor
to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, dated February
20, 1985. The District is located approximately 25 miles west of the
central business district of the City of Houston, Texas. The District
contains approximately 5,718 acres of land, of which approximately
5,247 are located within Fort Bend County, Texas, and approximately
471 acres are located within Harris County, Texas. The District is
located approximately 2.5 miles south of the intersection of Interstate
Highway 10 and Mason road. The eastern and southern boundaries of
the District are formed by the Barker Reservoir and Barker Dam, respectively.
The District generally covers the areas known as Cinco Ranch, Kelliwood,
Canyon Gate at Cinco Ranch, Falcon Ranch, and Parkway Oaks. The District
is located entirely within the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction
of the City of Houston. The rights, powers, and privileges, authority,
and functions of the District are established by the general laws
of the State of Texas pertaining to water control and improvement
districts, particularly Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code.
The District was created to finance the acquisition and/or construction
of major outfall drainage facilities, trunk storm sewer facilities,
and related projects. The District has financed the construction
or acquisition of components of the drainage system with the proceeds
of unlimited tax bonds, and plans to finance the remainder of the
drainage system with the proceeds of the sale of additional bonds. |
