Hurricane Update for our Community

9/16/08

Mason Creek Utility District had sufficient generator power during and after the storm and our water system was never taken offline. This means that your tap water was never compromised and its quality remained stable. We do not take physical delivery of water from the City of Houston so our system was never exposed to any outside threats.

It will be necessary for each resident to bring their tree and fence debris to the curbside for collection. It is important that the debris stays on the yard and not blocking the drainage flow below the curb. The process of collecting this debris could take several weeks so we encourage you to stack it on your side walk or the side of your drive way to prevent further damage to your grass or yard.

It is also very important that you separate the debris by type, tree, and fence. There will likely be separate contractors picking up each type of debris and mixing the different types of waste will slow the process greatly.

The utility district is in the process of hiring a private firm to collect the tree debris immediately and work is planned to begin on Thursday (9-18-08). This work will be done one section at a time and once a pass of the entire community has been made a second pass will be made to pick up any addition debris that has been left at curb side.

Our household waste contractor will not be collecting your hurricane debris. WCA is working diligently to ensure they have enough diesel fuel supply to carry out normal collection service over the coming week. If a shortage in fuel causes a delay in service we will notify you.

Thanks in advance for your patience, this will be a large task and resources are limited as most are being dispatched to areas affected much worse then ours first.
