What is a Municipal Utility District?
A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a local governmental entity organized for the purpose of providing safe drinking water and sanitary sewer service to the areas within its boundaries. Additionally, a MUD can exercise other typical governmental powers, including, but not limited to, drainage relief within its boundaries, the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes, issuing bonds with voter authorization, charge for authorized services, adopt and enforce rules and regulations to accomplish the purposes for which the MUD was created, develop and maintain certain public improvements such as parks and jogging trails, provide solid waste management services, and provide police protection services. However, not all MUDs provide all of these services. While the powers of a MUD may seem very broad, MUDs are one of the most highly regulated and controlled governmental entities in the State of Texas. The powers of a MUD are limited to those expressly provided for in the Texas Water Code and the Texas Constitution and there is significant oversight provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Latest News
Notice of Recycling Fee Increase
Since 2022, MUD 364 has contracted with Best Trash to provide recycling services to residential single-family users. The recycling fee is included in the sewer usage line item of customer bills.
Best Trash recently provided the District notice of a Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase to the rate charged per residence, per month. As of August 2025, Best Trash charges the District $5.56 per residence, per month (previously $5.32).
The District previously charged customers $4.50 per month for recycling services. To cover a portion of this deficit, the District is revising the recycling fee to $5.50 per month, effective on September bills.
The Board understands increases to household expenses can have a significant impact on families and tries to avoid them as much as possible. Despite having multiple CPI increases from Best Trash, the Board has not increased recycling fees charged to customers since 2022. However, this decision to increase the recycling fee was necessary to recover the District’s cost for the administration of services provided.
The Board thanks the community for your understanding and continued support in making MUD 364 a great place to live!
