Capital Projects

Construction is taking place every day around the City of Manvel, and the Capital Projects division is a huge part of making that happen. Capital Projects are projects that help maintain or improve City infrastructure, including new construction, expansion, renovation, or replacement project for an existing facility or facilities. Working in conjunction with every other division in Development Services, Capital Projects helps plan, coordinate, manage, and organize outside developments coming into the City. Keep up with some of our most notable projects here!

Manvel Drainage Pond

The Manvel Drainage Pond is a joint effort between the City of Manvel, Brazoria County Conservation and Reclamation District #3 (C&R3), Brazoria Drainage District #4 (BDD4), and Brazoria Drainage District #5 (BDD5) to detain heavy rainfall and minimize catastrophic flooding along State Highway 6 (SH6). 

A drainage pond, or "detention pond," is a constructed depression that receives and stores stormwater runoff from a specific drainage area. The Manvel Drainage Pond will provide many benefits to the City, including the reduction of ponding water on SH6, a designated evacuation route, during extreme flooding events.

On June 21, 2022, the City of Manvel and its collaborating entities broke ground on the much-anticipated Manvel Drainage Pond, and work on Phase 1 of the 2-Phase project began. At the current rate of work, Phase 1 is estimated to conclude by the end of 2025.

Once completed, the Manvel Drainage Pond will provide over 1,000 acre-feet of storage capacity. Read more about the project on its dedicated webpage or view the concept design.
