The North Harris County Water Authority has implemented Stage 2 of their Drought Contingency Plan for Mandatory Water Conservation. Harris County MUD 109 will follow their guidelines below.
"The City of Houston (COH), the primary source of water for the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (Authority), has entered stage two of their Drought Contingency Plan, effective on August 27, 2023. The COH’s drought response calls for mandatory water conservations efforts to reduce water use, that will reduce the daily volume of water delivered. The Houston Public Works Release can be found under https://cityofhouston.news/stagetwodrought/ .
As required by the Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan, the Authority must enter Stage 2 of our Drought Contingency Plan, when the COH enters into Stage 2 water shortage of their Drought Contingency Plan. The Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan requires that any customer receiving water from the Authority or well owner whose well is included under the Authority’s Harris-Galveston Subsidence District aggregate water well permit:
- Repair detectible water leaks within 72 hours of discovery;
- Utilize water conservation measures such as displacement bags, low-flow shower heads and leak detection tablets;
- Limit outdoor irrigation to the hours 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the following day on no more than two (2) days per week, in conformity with the following schedule (no watering on Mondays):
- Sundays and Thursdays for single-family residential customers with even-numbered street addresses
- Saturdays and Wednesdays for single-family residential customers with odd-numbered street addresses; and

Compliance with the above requirements is mandatory." |

Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 109

Environmental Quality ("TCEQ")), by its order dated
July 16, 1974, pursuant to Article XVI, Section 59,
Texas Constitution and Chapters 49 and 54, Texas
Water Code. The creation of the District was
confirmed at an election held within the District
for that purpose on September 28, 1974. The District
