The following is a status update for Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 2 (FBCLID2) Emergency Operations. FBCLID 2 received up to 8 inches of rainfall inside the levee over the past 6 hours. The William “Bill” Little Pump Station is in operation and all pumps are running. The water elevation in the FBCLID 2 ditches is 65 feet, which is less than 1 foot of the lowest homes in FBCLID 2.

The forecasted water elevation in Ditch H created by the Brazos River will remain 3 feet below the bottom of the FBCLID2 levee. However, additional rainfall is still forecasted through the weekend and all rainfall runoff will need to be pumped out of the levee.
