Coastal Industrial Water Authority
904 Memorial Professional Building
Houston, Texas 77002
Gentlemen:
It is my understanding that agents for Coastal Industrial
Water Authority are approaching property owners in the City
of La Porte, to acquire property for a water canal through
the city, just west of the Houston Lighting & Power Company
easements.
• This area is within the corporate limits of the City of La Porte,
contains many City of La Porte streets, and is subject to the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of La Porte. I would appreciate
your having your representative contact me, to advise the City
of La Porte of your exact plans, ~.nd so that we might discuss
the matter further.
Yours very truly,
CITY OF LA PORTE
