TRASH/STORM DEBRIS PICK UP IN FAIRFIELD AFTER HURRICANE BERYL
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.
NOTICE REGARDING FAIRFIELD WATER
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- Debris Removal
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
Construction of Phase 1 of Trail Project to Begin
Construction of Phase I of the trail project being funded by Harris County Water Control & Improvement District No. 155 (the “District”) will kick off in January. Minor layout activity will begin over the next two weeks with some flagging to identify the trail location. The District anticipates that construction equipment will be on site and construction will commence the last week of January. The project should be completed by May.
The project is located along the north bank of Channel A (the channel running adjacent to Cypresswood Drive) from Crescent Lily to Fairfield Falls Way. The project will consist of an approximately six foot wide concrete sidewalk with grouped tree plantings, benches, trash bins, and doggy waste stations.
If there are any questions or issues regarding the construction, residents should contact the District’s engineer, Larry Mueller at lmueller@bgeinc.com or 713.488.8212. Residents may also provide comments to the District’s Board of Directors at their regular monthly meetings at 5:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month at Bradford Creek Clubhouse or by emailing Meghan.tricarico@nortonrosefulbright.com, the District’s paralegal.
The goal of the District’s trail project is to provide connectivity and beautify the Fairfield trail system, so it can be easily enjoyed by all residents. The first phase of the project will provide better and safer access to the middle school for kids walking or riding bikes.
The location of Phase 1 is shown on the map below:
