by

Good day Water Users Coalition,

Please, see below for a partnership opportunity with Harris County Precinct 3.

Best Regards,

Jerry Homan

Good Morning,

Harris County Precinct 3, Commissioner Ramsey’s office, is offering an open request for partnerships for new sidewalk projects.  The evaluation form and criteria for the sidewalk program is attached to ensure that everyone understands the goals and focus of the program.  Commissioner Ramsey’s Office is looking for partnership sidewalk projects that increase connectivity to high pedestrian generators as well as projects that address known safety issues.

Please note that the partnership request form is due July 17th and we anticipate notifying applicants if we are moving forward with their project by end of September.  All applications will need to be submitted to Pct3EngTraffic@pct3.hctx.net or mailed to 4603 Spring Cypress Road, Attn: Traffic. 

Thank you for your attention in this matter and we look forward to working together in improving the safety and mobility for our community.

YouTube Video of NHCRWA Meeting, May 4th, 2026

Good day Water Users Coalition,

Wow! This meeting is over 3 hours long and is loaded with misinformed statements and insults to MUDs. In a free-for-all discussion on how unnecessary surface water conversion is, it was suggested to halt any future 2035 debt.

The NHCRWA paid $160,000 for a recent rate study, only to dismiss it because they did not like the suggested rate recommendations necessary to build out the infrastructure and pay the bills.

This meeting is quite painful to watch. Many of these board members make ignorant remarks about our MUDs. They fail to understand how MUDs operate and the essential role they play. David Barker and Mark Ramsey routinely express malice toward MUDs and fail to recognize that the MUDs are their customers.  

The Discussion of the rate study starts at 1:37:24. David Barker’s rant on disparaging MUDs starts at 2:40:20. “We supply all of the flipping water. The MUDs are not selling anything, except for the sewer.” One of many disrespectful statements by David Barker.  

These board members continue to dismiss concerns about subsidence and argue that there is an unlimited supply of quality groundwater, making surface water conversion unnecessary. Facts and long-term planning concerns are too often ignored or reshaped to support a predetermined narrative. Unfortunately, delaying or slowing surface water conversion projects today will only result in significantly higher costs for everyone in the future.

I encourage you to watch and listen for yourself using the link below and be sure to turn on closed captioning, so you don’t miss anything.

Please share with everyone. We will provide more information as it becomes available.

Best regards,
Jerry Homan
