Greetings,

The Water Users Coalition, (WUC) is proud to announce the newly formed WUC Advisory Council as of January 10, 2017. Should you have an interest in serving on the WUC Advisory Council, please contact us.

Ron Chapman                    Chairman

Jerry Homan                      Vice Chairman

Bob Butler                          Secretary

David Brittain                     Council member

Darrell Barroso                  Council member

Junior Yharte                     Council member

 

One of the most important current issues facing the Municipal Utility District (MUD) community is the potential shift of responsibility from the counties to the water districts; such as repairs and maintenance of storm sewers and roads.  Be aware of the use of buzz words such as “partnership & infrastructure upgrades” coming from the counties. This will start as a simple project to improve drainage and will end up with the Water Districts sharing the cost of all repairs and maintenance “deemed an upgrade” by the county.  This is a slippery slope that the MUD community cannot afford to go down!

Please consider joining our efforts to build awareness and support to oppose any effort by the Texas Legislature to shift responsibility of the cost of maintaining roads or related facilities, including storm sewers, from counties to water districts. Several WUC members will be circulating a Resolution in Austin, seeking signatures supporting the Association of Water Board Directors- Texas, Legislative Principle No. 10.  85th Regular Session 2017.

Thank you for your support,
