Bridgeland Drought Contingency Stage 2 Notice

On July 20, 2023, Stage 1 of the Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) for the Bridgeland community was implemented. The target was to achieve a 10% reduction in water use through voluntary means. We thank the community for its participation and efforts. Unfortunately, the dry, hot weather has persisted.

Due to high demand on the regional water system serving the Bridgeland community, we are implementing Stage 2 of the DCP. The target of Stage 2 is to achieve a 20% reduction in water use, and participation by all customers within Bridgeland (residential and commercial) is mandatory.

Pertinent Stage 2 restrictions are summarized below, while the appendix to this letter contains more specification provisions included in the DCP. The complete DCP can be found on the MUD websites at www.bridgelanddistricts.org.

  • Limit irrigation of landscaped and other areas to the following days:
    • Sundays and Thursdays for Retail Water Customers with an Even-Numbered Address, and
    • Saturdays and Wednesdays for Retail Water Customers with an Odd-Numbered Address.
  • Limit irrigation of landscaped and other areas to between the hours of 8:00 p.m. on the designated watering day(s) and 6:00 a.m. on the following day(s).
  • Limit other non-essential uses per the appendix to this letter, including:
    • Decorative or recreational water usage (fountains, pools, etc.), and
    • Washing vehicles.

Please be advised, Stage 2 will go into effect Thursday, August 31, 2023. Failure to comply may result in surcharges.

Additional notification to residents will be distributed as and if Stage 2 of the DCP is rescinded or if conditions require implementing Stage 3 of the DCP. If you notice irrigation of road medians, parks, or other open spaces outside of the days/times referenced in this notice, please do not be alarmed. These areas are irrigated with water from a separate, non-potable water system that follows different drought management measures.

Urgent Community Alert: Water Conservation Needed Due to Unexpected Power Outage at Treatment Plant #2

Dear Bridgeland MUD Resident,

On Tuesday, August 22, 2023, Water Treatment Plant #2 began experiencing power related issues due to a bird flying into the power line. The partial power failure has caused a reduction in groundwater production capacity and results in low water volume and pressure throughout the community.

We are currently working with Centerpoint to resolve the issue. While repairs are underway, we kindly ask the community to be mindful in conserving water. Water Treatment Plant #2 currently provides water to Harris County Municipal Utility District’s No. 419, 489, 490, 491, and 493. Please be advised, there are no health and safety concerns.

Additional notification will be provided as circumstances return to normal operations. Please reach out to Inframark’s Customer Service at (281) 579-4500, should you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Mackenzie Osborne
Account Manager
