Frequently Asked Questions
Why is detention design the make-or-break step for Katy developments?
Katy's old rice prairie is nearly flat, so runoff has nowhere to go; JRH sizes detention basins and outfalls precisely to Harris and Fort Bend criteria, which is the difference between an approvable plat and a flooded one.
How are new Katy neighborhoods getting their water and sewer?
Most rely on Municipal Utility Districts, so JRH designs the MUD utilities and coordinates district creation alongside the Grand Parkway growth.
Can JRH lay out a master-planned community west of Katy?
Yes; from prairie grading to recorded plat, we engineer the subdivision, detention, and TxDOT access. Contact (800) 227-9635.
