The City of Houston City Council deferred a decision to authorize the City Attorney to deposit $967,713.00 into the registry of the court to acquire temporary construction easement interests in nine parcels of land owned by Enterprise Crude Pipeline, LLC. This action is part of the 54-Inch Waterline along Galveston Road Project, which is a component of the City’s regionalization program to comply with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District requirements for a long-range water supply plan. The project involves the design, construction, use, maintenance, and operation of transmission and distribution lines to convey treated water from surface water facilities. The eminent domain proceeding became necessary after unsuccessful negotiations to purchase the properties. The parcels collectively span 474,369 square feet and are located in Harris County.
