WINTER IS COMING…

MUD 367 strongly recommends winterizing your sprinkler system. Winterizing is the process of preparing an irrigation system for winter weather and can help avoid costly repairs in the spring.

Follow these simple steps to Winterize your irrigation system:

  • Turn off the irrigation controller
  • Shut off the water supply to the irrigation system. Most irrigation systems have an isolation valve located near the water meter or backflow prevention assembly for this purpose,
  • Insulate any PVC pipes that are exposed above ground by covering with pipe insulation or other material. The resource link below contains how-to videos for proper insulation methods, and
  • Drain the water from irrigation components installed above ground such as backflow prevention assemblies.

Additional winterization resources, including “how-to videos” are posted at https://irrigation.tamu.edu/winterization

Contacting a local TCEQ Licensed Landscape Irrigator can ensure that your system and backflow prevention assembly are prepared for winter.

Conservation Tips from MUD 367

Attention MUD 367 residents-

Let’s conserve water and save money!

EyeOnWater – Leak Detection App

Have you downloaded the EyeOnWater App available to MUD 367 residents?  This App allows each resident to see how much water is being used and can even alert you to possible leaks on your property.  Over 40% of MUD 367 residents have downloaded this free app and are taking advantage of its value.  You will need your water bill for initial set up, then proceed to the App Store and download EyeOnWater.  Make sure to activate “Leak Alerts” to be contacted if there is a continuous flow of water of 1 gallon or more over a 24-hour period.

Water My Yard – Water Conservation Program

Harris County MUD 367 recommends each resident in the district sign up for the “Water My Yard” program designed by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service under the direction of Dr. Guy Fipps.  This program was developed in partnership with water districts, local city entities and public utilities to conserve water and take the guess work out of maintaining a healthy lawn.

The “Water My Yard” program uses local weather data in MUD 367 to provide free weekly watering advice. This data is collected from an extensive network of weather stations and rain gauges, and, along with research-based understanding of plant water needs, allow experts to send customized weekly water advice for your specific lawn and irrigation system.
