The Katy City Council Monday night authorized an agreement with HTI Construction of Rosenberg for a waterline replacement project.
Streets where the crews will work include Bhandara Court, Cedar Street, Heritage Drive, Jessica Court, and Zareen Lane.
The project is worth $579,410. Of this amount, $357,410, or 62%, will come from the city’s reserve water and sewer enterprise fund. The remaining $444,000, or 38%, will come from the city’s 2018-2019 budget.
City engineer Dave Leyendecker said if there are no significant weather issues, the city expects to complete the project in six months.
