Remington Municipal Utility District No. 1

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.
