Due to a loss of pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Harris County MUDs 322, 354, 396 and 397 public water systems, to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.

In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Inframark, the operator, at our 24-hour Customer Service Line (281) 398-8211.

Best Trash is trying to collect all of the food debris people have had to throw out due to power outages around Houston.  This means they do not have room to collect grass clippings at this time.  Other waste providers are going through the same thing as this hurricane is widespread over the greater Houston area.  Best Trash hopes to be able to collect grass clippings next week.

Storm debris is not part of regular trash collection. Cleaning your yard after the storm is considered storm debris and needs to be separated from your regular trash.

Please place grass clippings in clear bags or brown paper bags so Best Trash can determine that it is not storm debris.  Household trash should be placed in white bags to clearly distinguish it from storm debris.

The Fairfield MUDs are scheduling a special storm debris pickup like we did in May.  Anticipated date is August 1, 2024.

Thank you for your patience in this extremely trying time.

CUSTOMERS OF THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS:

• Harris County MUD 322
• Harris County MUD 354
• Harris County MUD 396
• Harris County MUD 397

You may disregard anything you see regarding the need to boil water.  The Fairfield districts provide water to their customers from water wells in Fairfield.  They do not receive any water from any other source, including the City of Houston.  The Districts’ water system operated during and after Hurricane Beryl at a pressure which was sufficient to meet all standards of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Precinct 3 Residents,

Precinct 3 Road and Bridge crews and contracted trucks will be starting debris pickup on Monday, May 20th. Our area stretches from The Villages up to Cypress, through Tomball, Spring, Humble, Atascocita, then down the San Jacinto River through Huffman, Crosby, Highlands, and Baytown to Channelview. We were especially hard hit in Cypress and The Villages areas.

We expect debris operations to last for weeks to months, so please be patient as we move through the affected areas. Each debris zone where debris has been reported will have assets assigned. Presence will be heavier in the most impacted areas.

The most impactful things you can do to help are as follows:

• REPORT DEBRIS to our hotline by calling 713-274-3880, this greatly helps with planning and staging of assets. You can also call Precinct 3 dispatch at 713-274-3100, if the debris hotline is busy.
• Follow the debris staging/sorting guidelines in the attached handout (vegetative, construction, appliances, electronics, hazardous)
• If at all possible, do not park cars on the street near or across from debris piles. Our trucks and equipment are very large and if an area is not able to be accessed we will have to return later once obstructions have been removed.

Please know that we understand how traumatic and disruptive an event like this can be. Many of our crews who will be working in your areas are also Precinct 3 residents with property damage and power outages… this makes us especially proud to be serving you. Thank you for your partnership in the recovery efforts.

Sincerely,
Tom Ramsey
Commissioner Precinct 3
