Welcome to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 365 (the “District”) located in the Coles Crossing subdivision in Cypress, Texas.
What is a Municipal Utility District?
A Municipal Utility District (“MUD”) is a local governmental entity organized for the purposes of providing safe drinking water and sanitary sewer service to the areas within its boundaries. Additionally, MUDs can exercise other typical governmental powers, including drainage relief within its boundaries, the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes, issuing bonds with voter authorization, charge for authorized services, adopt and enforce rules and regulations to accomplish the purposes for which the MUD was created, develop and maintain certain public improvements such as parks and jogging trails, provide solid waste management services, and provide police protection services. While the powers of MUDs may seem very broad, MUDs are one of the most highly regulated and controlled governmental entities in the State of Texas. The powers of MUDs are limited to those expressly provided for in the Texas Water Code and the Texas Constitution and there is significant oversight provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "TCEQ").

June 26, 2009: The CCCA (HOA to most of us) has been requested to irrigate at some time other than the morning due to the high water demand betwen 5 and 8 AM. The irrigation of the common areas is the single biggest user of water in Coles Crossing, using approximately 350,000 gallons of water per day. The average home in Coles Crossing, by contrast, uses about 400 gallons per day.
We urge everyone to conserve where they can, both inside and outside. There are a number of water-saving tips on the "Conservation" tab of our website. If you have an automated sprinkler system, we ask that you consider adjusting the system to run overnight or shorten the duration of each cycle. We believe the mechanical issues that caused the recent pressure drops have been corrected but we need to proceed with caution during these drought conditions. Thank you for your support.
