Harris County MUD 360 is experiencing electric issues at the water plant. In order to keep the water system pressurized, we are opening the emergency interconnect with a neighboring District while we investigate the source of the problem.

This may lead to changes in the taste, smell, feel, and appearance of the water supplied to you. Please know that even if you experience aesthetic changes to your water, it is still safe to drink.

If you are experiencing water quality issues, we recommend opening up a hose or bathroom faucet towards the back of your home for a few minutes to flush the water from your internal plumbing. If after a few minutes you are still experiencing issues, please contact our Operator, MDS, at 281-290-6500 or www.mdswater.com.

We have confirmed a water main break near Sandler Bend and Laken Rd. In order to make repairs to the water line, we have isolated the leak, causing a service interruption to about 25 homes in the area. We are diligently working to make repairs and restore water service as soon as possible.

The North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) has terminated Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan effective immediately. As a participant with the NHCRWA, Harris County MUD 360 has also terminated Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan, effective immediately.

Thank you for your efforts conserving water during this year’s drought.

The North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) has TERMINATED Stage 2 of its Drought Contingency Plan effective immediately. Please note that Stage 1, voluntary water conservation, is still in effect until further notice. As a participant with the NHCRWA, Harris County MUD 360 is required to implement Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) immediately.

At its regular Board meeting September 11, 2023, the Board of Directors of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) voted to reduce water rates. The Board reduced surface water rates from $4.55 to $4.05 per 1,000 gallons and groundwater pumpage fees from $4.10 to $3.60 per 1,000 gallons. This is the second time in eight months the Authority has made rate reductions, making a total of $1.00 per thousand gallons of usage, or approximately 20% and 22% rate cuts, respectively. The new rates will go into effect October 1, 2023.

Board President and Director Mark Ramsey commented: “When our board addressed rates at the beginning of the year, we acted cautiously but with the stated intent to re-examine NHCRWA finances later in the year. This recent review revealed more revenue thus far in 2023 than had been anticipated earlier in the year, clearly enabling these additional rate cuts. The combined cuts will save NHCRWA ratepayers approximately $60,000,000 per year. Board Members and NHCRWA staff continue to search for additional ways to save ratepayers money while preserving quantity and quality of water supplies for North Harris County residents.”

The loss in water pressure experienced on Wednesday, September 6 around 9pm was due to an electrical issue at the water plant. The issue was resolved and service restored around 10pm.
