Welcome To
Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District
About GCCDD
As a result of the February 2nd, 2002 election, Clear Creek Drainage District and Galveston County Drainage District Number Three merged, forming Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (the District). We believe this merger will allow us to better serve the citizens of the formerly independent districts.
The District's mission is as follows:
To enhance the safety and well-being of our community by proactively managing and improving the district’s drainage systems. We are committed to mitigating the risk of flooding through the diligent maintenance and enhancement of our creeks, tributaries, waterways, and ditches. In our pursuit of safeguarding our citizens from the financial and personal toll of floodwaters, we will also prioritize the preservation of the district’s natural beauty.
The GCCDD remains steadfast in our dedication to harmonizing environmental stewardship with the critical need for effective drainage solutions, ensuring a resilient and thriving community for generations to come.
Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District's jurisdiction encompasses more than 20 square miles of northern Galveston County. The District maintains more than 80 miles of creeks, ditches, and bayous, as well as subdivision detention ponds and other joint projects and works closely with the City of Friendswood, neighboring drainage districts, developers and contractors. The District is governed by Chapter 49 and Chapter 56 of the Texas Water Code.
