Under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, public water systems must create an inventory of all potable water services lines within their system. Each state was responsible for ensuring that public water systems properly document their system. In the State of Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) is responsible for enforcing this ruling. TCEQ mandated that public water systems inventory both public and private water service lines to determine if there was lead present within the system.
Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 152 (“the District”) was responsible for inventorying our entire water service system and uploading the results to TCEQ.
To do this, the District reviewed historical construction plans, distribution maps, meter connection reports and operational records to confirm that there was no lead present in the water service lines built after the State’s Lead Ban of 1989.
For homes that were constructed prior to the Lead Ban of 1989, a visual inspection was performed at each meter box to confirm that no lead was present in either the private or public service lines.
In total, the District inspected and confirmed that none of the 2,477 connections within the District had lead present. A summary of the findings can be found in the PDF below.
The Harris County MUD 152 Board of Directors met in regular session on Wednesday, July 24th and unanimously voted to increase the District’s water and sewer rates. Customers who use less than 8,000 gallons of water per month will see an increase of $6. Additional details about the changes are outlined in the attached PDF.

Construction on the new concrete Ground Storage Tank #1 is nearing completion and on track for entering service by the end of May 2024. As we announced in January, The new GST1 will be a concrete tank with an expected life of 50 years. When considering overall costs, including projected maintenance costs through its life cycle, the concrete structure was a better value for taxpayers. We expect this new tank to serve the residents and businesses in our District for many years to come!

MUD 152 is excited to announce that construction will begin on replacing Ground Storage Tank 1 (GST1) at Kline/Walker Water Plant #1 next to Timber’s Elementary on Lonesome Woods Trail in Atascocita South. This project is part of the ongoing infrastructure improvements announced in July 2022 with the selling of Series 2022 bonds. Construction is expected to be completed by May 2024.
The original Water Plant (now known as Kline/Walker Water Plant #1) and GST1 was built and put into service between 1979-1980. GST1 has been recoated and rehabilitated three times over it’s now (almost) 45-year lifespan. With proper maintenance, we expect that bolted galvanized tanks last around 40-50 years. Through the decades, consecutive MUD 152 boards have chosen to invest in regular and optional preventative maintenance to extend the life of GST1. As a result, the District benefited from the tank’s entire useful life.

MUD 152 is implementing a voluntary water conservation notice for the district. Given the current dry conditions across our area, it is important for homeowners to think about ways to reduce their water usage. Water conservation experts suggest among other approaches, reducing the time spent in the shower, washing only fully loaded washing machines, waiting until the dishwasher is fully loaded before turning it on, and watering your lawn on a more limited basis.
