HCMUD 49 – Open Houses Recap

The Board of Directors for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 49 (HCMUD 49) would like to thank all the residents who came out and attended our Resident Educational Open House events on October 17 and October 24. Both nights were an excellent opportunity to get to know your neighbors, ask questions related to the District with our consultants, and understand the water, sewer, and drainage (WS&D) bond authorization proposition on the ballot. In attendance were the District engineer, operator, financial advisor, and legal counsel.

The Open House events are a means to raise community awareness and familiarity with the needs of the District and how MUDs fund projects efficiently and effectively. HCMUD 49’s Board of Directors cares about its residents and always seeks ways to engage with community members.

If you were not able to attend either night’s event, you can access the boards here:
