What is a MUD?
A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas authorized by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to provide water, sewage, and other services within the MUD boundaries.
How does a MUD work?
The publically elected Board of Directors manages and controls all of the affairs of the MUD subject to the continuing supervision of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality. The Board establishes policies in the interest of its residents and utility customers. A MUD may adopt and enforce all necessary charges, fees and taxes in order to provide district facilities and service.

In early December, MUD 61 sent out a survey to the residents of the district to determine the interest in a bond issue to improve the drainage in an area of the subdivision that was impacted by the heavy rains of spring of 2009. 558 surveys were mailed to the residents of MUD 61, 163 surveys were returned. Of the 163 surveys returned, 84 voted YES & 79 voted NO. The board discussed these results and what options should be considered next. Some of those steps will be reflected in the minutes when published.
