On February 16, 2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the Remington MUD 1 public water system, TX1013074, to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

The public water system has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of today, February 21, 2021.

According to the District’s Operator, customers can resume water use as normal. There is no need to flush lines.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Inframark, the operator for Remington MUD 1, at our 24-hour Customer Service Line (281) 398-8211.

Remington Municipal Utility District No. 1 purchases water from the West Harris County Regional Water Authority (WHCRWA). As of Friday afternoon, Feb. 19, the WHCRWA continues to do everything possible to restore water supply to our utility district customers.

A boil water notice continues to be in effect, and we are working with the City of Houston to pressurize the waterline that supplies the WHCRWA Pump Station.

Currently, the WHCRWA is receiving only a fraction of its contracted amount of surface water from the City of Houston waterline. However, as of 4 p.m., the WHCRWA received enough supply to begin delivering emergency water to some MUDs experiencing critically low water supplies.

The WHCRWA continues to provide as much water as possible to our utility district customers during this time, while trying to maintain adequate pressures within our system. The WHCRWA Pump Station is currently monitored twenty-four hours a day, and constant communication is maintained with the operators on issues at our utility district facilities.

We do not currently have an estimated delivery time for restored service. Once adequate water supply has been received from the City of Houston, the WHCRWA will provide water to its utility district customers as quickly as possible.

Updates will be provided as more information is available.

Due to severe winter weather conditions BayCity, Wharton, Matagorda, Fort Bend, Harris, Brazoria, Montgomery and Waller County services have been suspended.

In light of more people staying home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with local schools letting out for summer break, there has been an increase in people walking and bicycling through our community. The Board wants to draw everyone’s attention to the map below. Please stay off the sites colored in red and use the other sites only in accordance with the map’s legend. Board members and District consultants have seen people accessing the red sites with motorized vehicles (such as ATVs, motorcycles, four wheelers, and three wheelers). These activities are dangerous to the riders and the structural integrity of these drainage facilities. Repairing damage to these facilities from such activities costs you, the residents. Additionally, such activities are illegal. Trespassing on and/or damaging District property is punishable by civil and criminal penalties. If you see people trespassing on the red sites or misusing or damaging any of the sites on the map below, please call the Harris County Sherriff’s Office at 713-221-6000.

We want to assure our customers that Remington Municipal Utility District No. 1 is open for business and that we are maintaining all operations to keep our water safe. We are diligently monitoring Coronavirus/COVID-19 guidance from federal and state government agencies. We are taking the appropriate health and safety precautions and remain committed to meeting our customers’ expectations for safe, and reliable service.

For the safety of customers and employees to mitigate potential transmission of COVID-19, we encourage all customers to use online payment systems. You can pay your water bill through your banks online services or through http://paymyinframarkbill.com/.

If you need to drop a payment off at the office, please utilize the payment drop box located on the North side of the building.
