MUD 222 Trash and Water Update

Garbage Pick up

On Thursday 7/11, due to extremely heavy volumes of trash, Texas Pride was only able to pick up household garbage. The remaining lawn clippings and branches will be picked up on Monday 7/15. Large volumes of storm debris will be picked up by Harris County at a time TBD. We apologize for the late notice and inconvenience but appreciate everyone’s patience as we clean up from this storm.

Clean up of tree branches along the parks, trails, lake and other common areas are in the works and will be completed as crews are able to prioritize.

Water Quality during the Storm

This storm is a good reminder that MUD 222 and our operator, Municipal Operations, prioritize ensuring no interruption to water or sewer services during storms or any other potential disruptions. Our water and sewer plants are equipped with backup generators that are tested regularly and able to function for extended periods of power loss.

The water in your taps has remained safe during this recent power outage and at no time this week did you need to boil water or take other precautions. In the event there is ever an issue with the water quality in MUD 222, rest assured that you will be notified through this messaging service as well as signs posted in all neighborhood entrances.

What You Need to Know About COVID-19

Your Drinking Water is Safe

MUD 222 and Municipal Operations & Consulting, Inc. are diligently monitoring Coronavirus/COVID-19 guidance from federal and state government agencies. The emergence of COVID-19 has caused understandable questions about public health and local water supplies.

To be clear, MUD 222 and all water districts managed by Municipal Operations & Consulting, Inc. are safe and have been certified by the State of Texas.

According to the CDC and the EPA: “The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking water. Conventional water treatment methods that use filtration and disinfection, such as those in most municipal drinking water systems, should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”

Federally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide helpful resources about COVID-19 and the safety of drinking water. Access the links below for more detailed information:
