On 02/17/2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality required the Northwest Harris County M.U.D. 22 public water system, 1011011745, 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 02/19/2021.

Boil Water Notice for Community Public Water Systems
02/17/2021

Due to reduced system pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required the Northwest Harris County M.U.D. No. 22/PWS ID# 1011745 public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these directions).

To ensure destruction of all harmful bacteria and other microbes, water for drinking, cooking, and ice making should be boiled and cooled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes. The water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil and then boiled for two minutes.

In lieu of boiling, individuals may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

Once the boil water notice is no longer in effect, the public water system will issue a notice to customers that rescinds the boil water notice in a manner similar to this notice.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

If you have questions concerning this matter, you may contact Howard Wilhite at 281-353-9809.

This problem was caused by the unprecedented winter storm. Once conditions return to normal, we will post the appropriate notice.

All,
As we head into another week of the Stay Home-Stay Safe rules that have been issued by our state and county officials, your N.W. MUD 22 Board of Directors wants you to know that we are strongly committed to maintaining the infrastructure that delivers safe drinking water and quality waste-water services to your homes.

h₂o Innovation is the operator for N.W. MUD 22 and they are “essential personnel” that continue to provide 24/7 water services to our district.

The N.W. MUD 22 board is adhering to and practicing physical distancing as we should all be doing, during this COVID-19 virus control.

Therefore, the April board meeting was not held this month.

We are closely monitoring the directions from our state and county to determine how best to plan for the May board meeting and whether it can be held at the usual location of the administrative building or if a teleconference will need to be setup.

We will keep you posted as things continue to develop.

We believe that as we all continue with the safe practices that have been instructed, we will get through this very challenging time and come out better and stronger!
