City Of Haltom City Annual Budget, FY2025 Capital Project Funds

Drainage Capital Fund (46)

During FY 2003-04, the City engaged consultants to perform a drainage study. The result of the study was a
plan that assesses a monthly fee to each residential customer in the City. Commercial interests are billed a
per square foot charge based upon the square footage of their property multiplied by a runoff factor.
During FY2004-05, the City engaged another consulting firm to assist in the preparation of a Drainage
Master Plan. As a part of the analysis, floodplain maps were studied, and the existing drainage system
was studied. The study identified approximately $102 million in needed drainage improvements to address
critical infrastructure deficiencies.
As part of the FY 2025 budget, $7.6 million has been allocated for projects that address stormwater and
drainage improvements. These improvements, identified under the Street Reconstruction Fund (Fund 31),
will include drainage components funded through the Drainage Fund (Fund 46). This allocation underscores
the City’s ongoing commitment to improving stormwater management and reducing flood risk for the
community.
