Water

The Gleannloch MUD Districts (367/383) continue to focus on their primary mission of delivering cost effective, reliable water and sanitary service to our community.

To meet rising demands, the districts embarked on the construction of a new water well, located just behind HEB. We are pleased to announce that the well will be online by summer 2026, giving the districts additional capacity and redundancy. Thank you to our neighbors for your patience during the construction of this well.

The MUDs recently completed specialized testing of the sanitary sewer lines to identify any deficiencies and ensure a proactive approach to ongoing maintenance of the system within the districts. No significant deficiencies were identified during the testing.

Additionally, the MUDs are preparing for the hurricane season. Regular maintenance of the drainage channels is a priority, as are the backup generators at the water and wastewater facilities.

Some residents have expressed concern about water availability in the event of a hurricane or loss of electricity due to a grid failure. Our MUDs have invested in generators, both natural gas and/or diesel, for our critical equipment such as pumps.

We are very confident in the MUDs ability to service our residents without relying on others should it become necessary.

Residents of Gleannloch Farms receive water from two water districts, either Harris County MUD 367 or Harris County MUD 383.

Both districts receive water from two water wells built in the early 2000’s located within Gleannloch. Due to increased demand from additional development, along with severe weather situations, both districts agreed to request the construction of a third water well through the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Upon approval, the districts engaged with engineering firm, Pape Dawson, to construct the third well at the existing water plant located north of Northpoint and south of HEB.

We ask for your patience during the construction of this water well as there will be heavy equipment and louder than usual noise levels. We anticipate completion of this project to be Spring of 2026, just in time for Gleannloch’s summer water needs.

At its September 16, 2024, Board Meeting, the Board of Directors of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) voted to reduce water rates. The Board reduced surface water rates from $4.05 to $3.05 per 1,000 gallons and groundwater pumpage fees from $3.60 to $2.60 per 1,000 gallons. These rate cuts, complementing the first two cuts of $0.50 each in 2023, will go into effect October 1st.

These fees generally show up on MUD district water bills as simply “NHCRWA”, “NHCRWA fees”, or something similar.

Board President and Director Melissa Rowell said, “We are happy to announce that the Board has voted for a $1.00 reduction in water rates, marking our third rate decrease since the new board members were elected in 2022. This continued effort reflects our commitment to providing value and relief to our rate payers.”

Director Mark Ramsey, an advocate for lower rates added, “I am grateful for the hard work of the board and the staff in identifying ways to reduce water rates. We continue to provide abundant high-quality surface water complementing the even more abundant high-quality groundwater beneath our feet. The board continues to work toward other long-term solutions for North Harris County residents and businesses.”

The motion was made by Director David Barker, a longtime advocate of a $1.00 or more rate reduction.

HCMUD 367 has completed the Lead & Copper Inventory as required by the EPA. Through records research and field investigation of the distribution system, it has been determined that the system has no lead service lines or galvanized requiring replacement service lines.  The system has been determined as a non-lead community.  If you would like a copy of the Lead & Copper Inventory, please submit your request to HAR367@txdistricts.info.

At its regular Board meeting on September 11, 2023, the Board of Directors of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) voted to reduce water rates. The Board reduced surface water rates from $4.55 to $4.05 per 1,000 gallons. This is the second time in eight months the Authority has made rate reductions, making a total of $1.00 per thousand gallons of usage, or approximately 20% and 22% rate cuts, respectively. The new rates will go into effect October 1, 2023.

This pass-through cost from NHCRWA is shown as “Regional Water Authority” on your MUD 367 water bill.

As an example, if your usage for the billing period 10/4/23 to 11/3/23 is 12,000 gallons, the RWA fee would be reduced from $54.60 to $48.60. MUD 367 water and sewer rates will remain the same.
