Update: Stage 1 Drought Restrictions Lifted for Bridgeland Community Following Successful Water Conservation Efforts

Stage 2 of the Drought Contingency Plan (“DCP”) for the Bridgeland community was rescinded on October 10, 2023, with Stage 1 continuing in effect. The target for Stage 1 was a 10% water usage reduction. We are happy to report that the target for Stage 1 has been achieved for 7 straight days. Therefore, Stage 1 of the DCP and related voluntary water use restrictions are rescinded.

We encourage residents to continue irrigating on alternate days (Even addresses Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday; Odd addresses Saturday, Monday Wednesday). For more information on how to program your sprinkler controller, please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUoir-wk2Yc or your MUD District websites (Bridgeland Districts).

Hurricane Preparedness

Dear Bridgeland MUD Residents:

Please be advised, Texas Hurricane Season for 2023 will begin on June 1. We encourage residents to plan ahead to be safe in an emergency. Prepare now for the risks associated with storm weather and be ready to act when alerted by emergency officials.

Here are a few tips to help you prepare in the event of a hurricane:

  • Have an emergency plan and review with household members,
  • Stock up on supplies (water, batteries, first aid, nonperishables, etc.),
  • Bring items that can be easily picked up by wind indoors,
  • Close windows, doors, and hurricane shutters,
  • Fill vehicles and any additional cans with gas,
  • Pay attention to emergency broadcasts,
  • Have a plan for animals and plants; and
  • Move your vehicle to driveway or high ground.

In the event of an emergency, the best way to receive MUD related communications is through notifications distributed via HOA email & text alerts or visit your MUD website (www.bridgelanddistricts.org).

Sincerely,

Harris County MUD No. 490

WHCRWA Not Receiving Water from City at This Time – Please Conserve Water

Bridgeland MUD Residents:

Please be advised, Inframark has received the below notice from the West Harris County Regional Water Authority.

“The City of Houston is currently experiencing high demand in their system. Out of an abundance of caution, we are going to shut down the WHCRWA water supply temporarily to help reduce demand while they troubleshoot leaks and other items that may be causing issues.”

With the loss in supply, it is recommended to prepare for a possible boil water notice and possible interruption in service. We will keep you notified as we continue to monitor the system. Please sign up for your local MUDs email distribution.

Thank you,

Bridgeland MUD #418, 419, 489, and 490 MUD Directors
