TREATMENT
10.1 AVAILABILITY FROM ADJACENT DISTRICTS
The Four Comers planning area is surrounded by several existing municipal utility
districts which serve the adjacent residential and commercial developments. Municipal
utility districts are taxing entities operating under the jurisdiction of the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). These entities provide water and sanitary
sewer service to residents and customers within the boundaries of the district. Potable
water is supplied from water supply plants and distribution systems owned and operated
by the districts. Sanitary sewer services are provided by wastewater collection systems
and treatment plants owned and operated by the districts. Surplus water supply and
wastewater treatment capacity can be sold by a district to out of district customers, such
as Four Comers area residents, provided that capital and operational costs are recouped
from the rates charged for such services.
Five existing utility districts in the immediate vicinity of the Four Comers planning area
were contacted regarding the availability of water supply and wastewater treatment
capacity. These districts include Fort Bend County MUD No.2, Fort Bend County MUD
No. 25, Fort Bend County MUD No. 41, Kingsbridge MUD and North Mission Glen
MUD. Each district was surveyed regarding the availability of existing or near term water
supply and wastewater treatment capacity.
The following summarizes the findings regarding available capacity from adjacent
districts:
Fort Bend County MUD No. 2 -Water supply is provided by in-District wells but no
surplus capacity currently exists or is anticipated in the near future. Wastewater treatment
is provided by City of Houston wastewater facility but the district has allocated all of its
available plant capacity.
