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. There are currently 33 wells with contamination concentrations above the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) or 5 micrograms per liter (µg/l) or parts per billions (ppb). Continued contaminant migration has the potential to impact additional wells.
The Site includes approximately 150 residences and buildings. The area is a mix of single family homes, child care centers, commercial businesses and strip malls. The area is an unincorporated part of Harris County. All the residents and businesses rely on well water in the area since no service is provided by a city or utility district. The plume is documented to extend from the southern end of Echo Springs Ln. to Tower Oaks Blvd and from Timber Hollow to the eastern side of Jones Road.
As of 11/26/08 the installment of the waterline along with residential and commercial service connections has been completed. A total of 144 service connections were done. The waterline is currently active for usage and has been conveyed for operation by the local municipal utility district of White Oak Bend.
No further removal actions are planned at this time.
