Voters OK 5.5 Million Water Bond in Thompson Road District
Three voters in the Thompson Road Utility District near Baytown approved a 5.5 million bond program to build water and sewer facilities. The district, created in 1969, covers 179.8 acres west of Thompson Road and south of I-10, to be developed by Marvin Leggett of Westheimer Properties. Westheimer holds a Texas Water Quality Board permit to discharge sewage into the San Jacinto River and had been linked to plans for a city plant in the Westheimer area. The city is reviewing alternative plant sites due to engineering concerns. The district bonds may carry up to six percent interest, despite a 10 percent maximum.
