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 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. 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 by statute and the Texas Constitution and there is significant oversight provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “TCEQ”).

Latest News

Smart Meters

Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 168 recently completed an initiative to convert the District to smart meters, partnering with Environmental Development Partners (EDP) to bring these devices to the District. Smart meters and related technologies are great tools for water conservation, and greatly improve our water system’s operational efficiency.

The District’s goals are lowering water loss due to leaks, visibility of water usage trends, and immediate reporting and handling of problems that may arise.

Residents can sign up for the “EyeOnWater” web service to monitor water usage as well as receive alerts of potential leaks.

Residents are urged to view provided information and instructional videos by going to:
