Four Corner - Texas Water Development Board

If water supply and wastewater treatment capacity is secured by the Four Corners area
from an adjacent utility district, no permits from the TNRCC or the Fort Bend
Subsidence District will be necessary. The existing water supply and wastewater
treatment systems will be covered under permits issued to the district owning and
operating the facilities. However, construction drawings for any water
distribution/supply and wastewater collection/treatment proposed to serve the Four
Corners area must be approved by the City of Houston and the TNRCC.
6.5 RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUIREMENTS
The proposed trunk water and sanitary sewer facilities to serve the Four Corners area will
be constructed along the major roadways of Boss-Gaston/Old Richmond Road and
Richmond-Gaines Road. Right-of-way widths along these roadways vary in width from
50 to 70 feet. No additional right-of-way acquisition would be anticipated. However,
field visits have found evidence of gas, electric and telephone utilities along both
roadways. Exact locations of these facilities will be necessary in final design and may
dictate the location of the proposed water and sewer facilities relative to the existing
roadway/drainage and utilities. To provide for a looped connection of the water system
east of Richmond-Gaines Road, acquisition of a water line easement along the east side
of the Atanacia Martinez subdivision from Old Richmond Road south to Dora Lane will
be required.
Lift station and pump station sites have been preliminarily located along Boss-Gaston
Road and Richmond-Gaines Road as shown on the sanitary sewer system layout in the
Appendices. These locations include some flexibility in terms of their physical location
on each roadway but acquisition of each site will be necessary as each proposed station is
included in the final design.
The streets within the Atanacia Martinez subdivision include a combination of dedicated
street rights-of-way and easements for access to existing housing units in the subdivision.
