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).

Proposed North Harris County Regional Water Authority Rate Change
The North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) has proposed a change to its pricing policy that could directly impact residents’ water bills.
The NHCRWA was created by the Texas Legislature to secure a long-term supply of surface water and facilitate the transition from ground water to surface water in the north Harris County region. The District is a participant of the NHCRWA and is scheduled to receive surface water in the next few years.
The NHCRWA’s proposed change would increase the groundwater rate for water districts that receive surface water from $2.60 to $3.50 per 1,000 gallons of water pumped from wells. Once the District is connected to the NHCRWA’s surface water system, this rate increase would apply to the District and be passed down to residents on water bills.
The proposed change does not allow exceptions such as when it is necessary to pump groundwater for ongoing maintenance of water wells or when the NHCRWA cannot deliver enough surface water to the District.
Residents can review the full text of the pricing policy change and submit comments to the NHCRWA Board here: https://www.nhcrwa.com/2026/02/proposed-revision/
