Baytown Panel Raises Sewer Upgrade Ask to 3.9 Million
Baytown officials heard a recommendation from a council study committee to spend 3.9 million for sewer improvements up from 2.08 million. The plan funds a new Westheimer plant near Thompson Road and new lines to divert sewage from Craigmont and Lakewood plants. The Lakewood plant’s low elevation and Craigmont’s overburdened capacity prompted the increase, with subsidence noted at about four inches per year and potential submersion of Lakewood in five years if high water recurs.
