Street Lights on Furman

The street lights on Furman are actually being charged to the City of Houston (COH) not CenterPoint. In CenterPoint's database, the first block of Furman between Almeda-Genoa and Fuqua (where the new gas station will be) is within the COH city limits; however, Harris County said that the northside of Furman @ Almeda-Genoa (the KB Homes side) belongs to the COH, and the southside of it is Harris County.

But... Harris County does not put up, nor pay for, street lights. They only do so within Parks (like Tom Bass Park, for example). Now, CenterPoint can erect the lights, but the problem is who will pay?

We can call the COH and ask them to put lights on THE REST of Furman Rd. Or, since we're paying (dearly) for Harris County WCID#89, we should have our water district pay for them. Please contact the Board of WCID#89 (click here for contact information) and request the lights be paid for...assuming that they haven't spent ALL the money on the new administration building!

  1. I currently work for an Electricity Company and can get some pretty cheap electricity rates for the lights if you all need help with this. Also anyone who needs a great rate for their home, please let me know! We've got them!
