Water Meter Replacement Project

Beginning Monday, April 28th, Remington MUD #1 will start a water meter replacement project to replace residential water meters. Water meters are used to measure the amount of water delivered to our customers. Replacing old water meters with new smart meters will ensure we can accurately track water usage while reducing maintenance work.

After the water meters are replaced, customers will then be able to view their water usage data including easy to understand graphs and the ability to establish alerts – including identifying potential leaks. EyeOnWater suite of available tools will include a secure online website to review and analyze water usage patterns. A consumer Smartphone app will also be made available. With these tools, you will now be able to view your water usage activity and gain a greater understanding and control of the amount of water you use. More information for accessing the portal will be shared post-installation.

Your patience during this important project is appreciated. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Inframark, the District’s Operator, at (281) 579-4500.

1. How much will the meter cost me?

There is no charge for the new meter.

2. Are the new meters the same as the ones being replaced?

No, the meters are being replaced to be compatible with an upgraded AMI system, improve the accuracy in meter reading and to replace meters that have served beyond their useful lives.

3. Who will install the meters?

A company by the name of Accurate Meter & Supply will complete the meter swap. Each crew member working on the meter replacement project for Remington MUD #1 will wear identification badges. The installation will take place over the next few months.

4. Will my water service be interrupted during the installation?

Yes, there will be a temporary service interruption, typically about 15 to 30 minutes, while the meter is replaced.

5. Do I need to be home for the meter replacement work?

No, you do not need to be home. Most of the work will be performed Monday-Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

6. Is there anything I need to do after my meter is installed?

Yes, prior to using your water, we recommend that you flush your lines by turning on your COLD-water faucet for 3 to 5 minutes or use an outside faucet.

7. Will my water bill increase?

Potentially, depending on the age and accuracy of your water meter, your bill may increase when your meter is replaced. As meters age, they tend to run slower and lose accuracy over time. The current meters are being replaced to be compatible with an upgraded AMI system and improve the accuracy in meter reading.

8. What if there is a leak at the meter, or problems arise following meter replacement?

Please call Inframark, the District’s Operator, at (281) 579-4500. After hours, holidays and weekends please contact Dispatch at for any concerns.

Notice of Withdrawal of Stage 1 Water Restrictions

WHCRWA Notice of Withdrawal of Stage 1 Water Restrictions (PDF)

The West Harris County Regional Water Authority’s (“Authority”) water supplies have resumed normal operations after having been disrupted as a result of Hurricane Beryl. Accordingly, effective July 12, 2024, Stage 1 water restrictions (voluntary reductions pursuant to the Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan) have been lifted. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please note that the Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan addresses numerous circumstances that can impact water supply (not just lack of rainfall or drought), including disruption of water supply due to natural disasters. A copy of the Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan is posted on the Authority’s website: www.whcrwa.com.

Stage 1 Drought Status: Voluntary Water Conservation Measures for Remington MUD

The West Harris County Regional Water Authority is having to reduce its supply, limiting Remington MUD’s ability to produce water. As a result, our district is implementing Stage 1 of its Drought Status.

During Stage 1, all users are asked to voluntarily reduce their water consumption in the following manner:

  • Homes with even numbered addresses are asked to limit their outdoor water use and irrigation to between 8 pm and 6 am on Sundays and Thursdays.
  • Homes with odd numbered addresses are asked to limit their outdoor water use and irrigation to between 8 pm and 6 am on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
  • Irrigation accounts are asked to limit their outdoor water use and irrigation to between 8 pm and 6 am on Mondays and Fridays.
  • Commercial entities are asked to practice water conservation and minimize or discontinue all non-essential water use.

Below are additional suggestions on how to conserve water. If you see a water leak, please reach out to Inframark immediately at their 24/7 Emergency Number (281) 398-8211 so that the matter can be investigated and resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your participation in our community’s conservation effort. Every drop counts!

Preparing for Hurricane Beryl: Safety Measures and What to Expect

As all of you are well aware, and have been tracking for over a week, Hurricane Beryl is headed for our area and scheduled to make landfall tomorrow, July 8. It’s crucial to take necessary precautions to ensure your safety and minimize damage to your property.

  • Anticipate Street Flooding: During high-intensity rains, there may be street ponding or flooding if the storm drains are overwhelmed and backed up. Don’t panic if you see water accumulating on the roads. As the rainfall decreases, the storm sewers will catch up, and any water in the streets will recede. This process may take some time, so patience is key.
  • Keep Cars Off the Streets: To avoid damage to your vehicles and to ensure emergency services can navigate the streets, please keep cars off the roads. Park your vehicles in garages or driveways and away from areas prone to flooding.
  • Secure Loose Items: Strong winds and heavy rain can turn loose items into dangerous projectiles. Make sure to bring in garbage cans, any loose furniture, or items outside that may grow wings in the storm. Securing these items not only protects your property but also helps keep your neighbors safe.
  • Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather updates and emergency notifications. Local authorities will provide the latest information on the storm’s progress and any additional precautions you should take.
  • Create an Emergency Kit: Ensure you have an emergency kit ready with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Being prepared can make a significant difference during and after the storm.
  • Follow Local Guidance: Adhere to any evacuation orders or other instructions from local authorities. They have the most accurate and up-to-date information to keep you safe.

By taking these steps, we can help each other stay safe and minimize the impact of Hurricane Beryl. Stay indoors, stay informed, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones.
