Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Waller County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Termination of Pine Island sewage inspection agreement
The county would end its interlocal agreement with the Town of Pine Island for on-site sewage facility inspections and sanitation services, and turn over Pine Island's OSSF records.
Illegal dumping cameras
A new H-GAC grant buys trail cameras for known dumping hot spots so deputies can catch and prosecute serial dumpers.
$25 Million Regional Stormwater Detention Facility Grant
Two big drainage moves: buying into Kane Island's detention ponds for three road projects at ~8% of cost, and a $5.1 million state-grant-funded regional detention facility on the old airport property with the Brookshire-Katy Drainage District. As the fastest-growing county in Texas, flood control is getting expensive attention.
Adopt-a-Road program launch
The county now has an official Adopt-a-Road program after a family's volunteer cleanup inspired it. Groups adopt a mile of road, clean it four times a year, and the county supplies gear and a sign.
