PROJECT UPDATES
We are constantly striving to improve the quality of life within the boundaries of the Irving Flood Control District by maintaining and improving the infrastructure and working elements of flood control. View our current projects below for more details.
Pump Rehabilitation
After 40 years of use, it was time to update the materials and lubrication of our pump station’s six pumps. In September, we celebrated the completed rehabilitation of all six pumps! The new, lighter-weight, more durable pumps will reduce energy costs and move water faster than the previous pumps, enabling us to efficiently manage flooding for decades to come.
Discharge Pipe Inspection
After conducting routine inspections, we identified early signs of natural deterioration within a portion of the pump station’s discharge pipe. We’ve sent the project out for bids and will move forward with the project later this fiscal year.
Tilting Weir Installation
Last fiscal year, IFCD 3 received approved funding to install a titling weir, which will help reduce the use of electric pumps before, during and after storms, decreasing the amount of electricity used and extending the life of the pumps. After researching and designing a titling weir, IFCD 3 has now secured a contractor and will soon move forward with installation.
