Houston city officials are proposing an $86 million underground stormwater detention basin behind Memorial Middle School in Spring Branch, raising safety concerns among parents and residents. The basin would be built underground beneath a grassy area behind the school, with two storm sewers and an underground structure. The project is funded by the City of Houston, Harris County Flood Control, Precinct 3, and federal grant money. Spring Branch ISD would have to agree to give up some of its land if the project proceeds. Some parents believe the proposal reminds them of a flooding incident in the Memorial area two years ago.
