Site Description
The Jones Road Ground Water Plume Site is a ground water plume contaminated with tetrachloroethylene from the former Bell Dry Cleaners at 11600 Jones Road and other potential sources in northwest Harris County, Texas.  The plume was originally detected in a public water supply well between Jones Road and Tower Oaks Blvd.  

Current Activities
EPA Crews continue to construct water lines.  A 12 inch main is being constructed from the connection point for the water provider, White Oak Bend.  Smaller lines are being constructed concurrent with the work on Jones Road along the resident streets.

Documentation of the conditions of homes and business is being conducted.  Measurements and maps are being made of the required connections from the mains to the homes and businesses.

Crews are working to keep streets clear and make repairs of driveways, mailboxes and such that are damaged during the work.


Planned Removal Actions
Continue the insallation.  July remains the projected completion date.
