Site work for a civil project in Beaumont, Texas. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Delaware Hilcorp Detention Diversion project would decrease flooding near Delaware Street by providing relief to Hillebrandt Bayou and freeing up capacity in the channels that the neighborhoods in that area can drain to. The project would create two detention ponds, providing 208 acre-feet of storage and upgrade storm sewers along Delaware Street. These improvements would divert water from Hillebrandt Bayou, reduce flooded areas by 11% for a 25-year storm event, and lower water depths by up to more than 9 inches. As of March 17, 2025, the district is requesting $3.29 million from the flood infrastructure fund to cover its required local match.
