Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 132 (the
"District") was created by an Order of the Texas Water Rights
Commission, now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ), dated September 10, 1974. The District operates
under the authority of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water
Code and other general statutes applicable to municipal utility
districts.
Since its creation, the District has completed two
annexations and currently includes 1,115.029 acres. The
District is located in northeast Harris County approximately 25
miles from the City of Houston. FM 1960 East bisects the
District approximately seven miles east of Highway 59. In
addition to serving its residential and commercial customers,
the District serves homes within the City of Houston limits that
are bound by the District's boundary and Lake Houston.
The District was created to provide (1) a water system
consisting of water production, storage, and distribution
facilities; (2) a sanitary sewer system consisting of internal
sewer lines and laterals, sewage treatment and disposal; and (3)
a drainage system consisting of storm sewers and drainage
channels. The District has two water plant facilities
consisting of two water wells, storage facilities, pumps and
emergency power generators; 1.54 million gallons per day of
capacity in the Atascocita Central Wastewater Treatment Plant
(the "Regional WWTP"); and a share in the trunk main to the
Regional WWTP. The responsibility of maintenance and
operation of the internal systems in accordance with good health
standards lies with the District. The District pays its
prorata share for operation and maintenance of the Regional WWTP
and trunk main. Harris County has maintenance
responsibility for the public storm sewers that were conveyed to
it after construction. |
