About Us
Why MUD’s Exist
A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a special purpose governmental entity of the State of Texas. Regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the MUD’s primary function is to provide water, wastewater and in some cases, drainage services within its boundaries. A MUD may sell bonds, levy and collect taxes, provide and charge for water and sewer services, build infrastructure, condemn property, and make regulations to accomplish its purposes.
All Municipal Utility Districts are managed by an elected Board of Directors. Each Director on the Board is a resident or a property owner within the boundaries of the District. The Board of Directors conducts a meeting, usually every month to transact the business of the District. These meetings are open to the public, and you are welcome to attend the meetings of your District. For meeting information, please click the ‘District’ tab or contact the District’s Attorneys at (832) 789-1889.
For more information about TCEQ, please visit their official site at www.tceq.texas.gov.

History
Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 304 was established on May 1, 1985 by an Order of the Texas Water Commission, presently known as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “Commission”), under the provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, as a separate government entity, empowered to purchase, operate and maintain all facilities, plants and improvements necessary to provide water, wastewater, storm sewer drainage and recreational services for the “Residents”, and businesses of the District. The District is recognized as a political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected Board, consisting of 5 Members (Directors), and as otherwise, Public Officials.
It is historically this Board’s position to manage the District’s functions by being cognizant of several acts of policies.
- Keep property value high.
- Keep taxes low and/or maintainable not to risk loss of revenue needed from taxes.
- Pay off debts.
- Be cost effective with expenditures, and to increase savings where warranted.
- Invest in the District to improve daily quality of life.
- Protect and secure the infrastructure as well as the Residents and the public.
