MUD 364 Sanitary Sewer Repairs & Tree Removal
Over the past few months, Mud 364 contractors have been examining the sanitary sewer system within the District. These inspections identified some areas that require repairs.
Removal and replacement of some sections of the sanitary sewer system will begin this week. Unfortunately there are 3 trees along Coles Crossing Drive near Bowden Creek that sit directly above the sewer lines. These trees must be removed to facilitate the repairs. We will be replanting vegetation and trees in more suitable locations to prevent a similar situation in the future. Planting will begin in the cooler fall to give new trees and vegetation the best opportunity to thrive.
While we always strive to protect the community’s trees, please understand that these are necessary repairs to ensure the sustainability of our sewer infrastructure.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Sanitary Sewer System Repair Notice
MUD 364 is conducting an underground sewer televising project throughout the District. The results from Sections 9 and 10 identified some issues that need to be addressed, including areas where the lines are sagging and are not fully transporting waste products to the sanitary lift station and on to the sewer treatment plant.
To ensure the ongoing reliability of our sewer infrastructure, MUD 364 has opted to begin those repairs. This project will require excavation of some sidewalks and driveways. Over the next few weeks, the District and the Contractor will provide residents with notice of when the excavation work will begin. Residents directly impacted by the removal of a driveway or sidewalk will also be notified by certified mail.
The Contractor is required to provide notice 24 – 48 hours before beginning work on or adjacent to your property. The work will not require residents to be home and at no time will field crews enter your home. Any pavement, grass, fencing, trees, landscaping, or sprinklers that are damaged during construction will be restored by the Contractor at no cost to the resident.
The Board of Directors of MUD 364 is committed to providing every residence with superior water and sewer infrastructure and we appreciate your patience as we make these necessary repairs.

Phase 3 Remains Closed to Public – Please Stay Out of Fenced Areas!
Phase 3 of the Trail Project (“T-Loop”) remains closed to the public as our trail contractor completes its work on the final phase.
Earlier this week, the trail contractor poured the concrete in Phase 3 and secured the area with clearly marked fences. Unfortunately, individuals ignored the fences and damaged the freshly poured concrete, as shown in the pictures below. The District is exploring all its options to fix this issue but there will likely be increased project costs and delays.
The Board urges all residents to keep out of fenced areas even if it looks like there is no active work in progress.
In the meantime, please visit Phases 1 and 2 of the trail system!
