Water Main Repair – March 12, 2024

A Fry Road MUD water main has broken resulting in reduced pressures throughout the neighborhood.

It’s time for Freeze Preparedness

Residents are advised to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions, including turning off and draining irrigation systems to prevent damage. This proactive approach ensures the community’s safety and preparedness for the cold weather challenges ahead.

Water Main Repairs Completed

The broken water main was located and the area isolated this morning. Repairs have been completed and pressure has been restored throughout the water distribution system. You may notice an increased presence of Inframark vehicles in the area while the mainlines are flushed to ensure water quality is maintained.

If you experience water quality issues, please flush your home’s line via the outside spigot closest to your water meter for 15 mins or just until the water is clear. If your water quality issues persist after 15 mins, please reach out to Inframark directly at (281) 398-8211 and a technician will be dispatched to your location to investigate further.

Water Update: Fry Road MUD’s Independent Water System Operating within Parameters

Fry Road MUD’s water infrastructure is not tied to Houston or Katy water systems. Fry Road has an independent water system that is operating within parameters and is not currently under water restrictions.

Fry Road MUD’s operator is closely monitoring the system and will let residents know via the website and text alerts if the situation changes.

Due to the sustained heat during daylight hours, it is suggested to water lawns when it is dark outside, either late in the evening or early in the morning, to an inch depth, every couple of days. This can be measured by using an empty tuna can or other small, inch-tall container to measure the amount of water distributed by your sprinklers.

Voluntary water conservation during the summer months is always suggested. The Westlake MUD 1 web site contains articles covering this topic. Here is a link to the topic on their site:
