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.

You may have noticed large trucks in the district (Repipe). You're MUD 61 Board of Directors has approved a contract to reabilitate the sewer lines within the district. Once completed, this critical piece of the infrastructure of the district (MUD 61) located within Williamsburg Settlement should be good for several decades. Most of the sewer lines being relined are original to the neighborhood and without this work are approaching the expected lifespan of the pipe.
