Malcomson Road Utility District has resumed operations at Water Plant No #2
Malcomson Road Utility District (MRUD) has resumed operations at Water Plant No #2. Maintenance work is still being performed at the plant, but it should not disrupt operations. The water quality should improve as the plant’s surface water is released into the system. This might take up to 2 days. For the past months, the District has been using well water from Water Plant No. 1 as a primary source of water which caused differences in taste and appearance. If you continue to have water quality issues, please contact EDP at (832) 467-1599 so we can work to resolve individual situations.
Water Plant Maintenance
Malcomson Road Utility District(MRUD) is currently completing maintenance work at Water Plant #2; therefore, the plant is offline. Water Plant #2 is the primary source of water for the District but because of the repairs, MRUD has shifted over to use Water Plant #1. Water Plant #1 utilizes ground water from a well instead of the NHCRWA surface water so the water may seem different in taste and appearance. Chlorine residuals are continuously monitored by EDP at the water plant and throughout the District to ensure that the water provided to residents is safe for consumption despite taste, odor and discoloration differences.
The work being done at Water Plant #2 should be completed by the first week in June. Once that work is complete, MRUD will shift back to its normal operations. If you continue to have water quality issues, please contact EDP at (832) 467-1599 so we can work to resolve individual situations.
Sanitary Sewer System Rehabilitation
King Solution Services, Contractor for Malcomson Utility District, will be conducting sewer rehabilitation in your neighborhood beginning in 1 week and lasting approximately 1 week. The overall project will begin in February 2023 and be completed in August 2023, pending any weather delays. We will also hand out a second notification 48 hours before work will begin. Please be aware that multiple crews will be requesting access for line and manhole rehabilitation to the utility easement located within the property. Our normal working hours are 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM Monday through Friday.
During the process of this rehabilitation, it will be necessary for our crews to have access to the utility easements for the purpose of performing video survey of sewers, installing sewer liners, and excavating your sanitary sewer service for reconnection to the sewer main. Please have all pets restrained or removed from the property and yard ornaments, furniture, landscape improvements, etc. removed from the sewer easement while the rehabilitation process is being conducted on your property. At times it may be necessary for us to remove and replace sections of fence, bushes, and other landscaping to complete this work. All property will be restored to the original condition
after our work is complete. King Solution Services will take video or still pictures of your property prior to any construction.
It is the goal of King Solution Services to complete this project with as little inconvenience as possible. Your cooperation will be gratefully appreciated. If for any reason a problem should occur, a King Solution Services representative may be contacted at 281-732-2014 on a 24 hour 7 days a week basis.

Freezing Weather Notification
Winter weather and freezing temperatures are expected this week across Texas. The National Weather Service is forecasting widespread freezing temperatures on Friday and Saturday mornings. Residents should closely monitor media and the National Weather Service for updates to the forecast. We wanted to assure you that the teams at Inframark are monitoring and working diligently in preparation for a freezing weather event to safeguard your facilities. It is also important that you take action as well in protecting the “Four P’s”: People, pets, pipes and plants.
People
- Keep warm, stay inside if possible.
- If you need to go out, dress in layers and wear hats, gloves and an appropriate coat.
- Avoid overexertion, as cold weather puts added strain on your body.
Pets
- Bring pets inside, and move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas.
- Keep adequate food and water available.
Pipes
- Disconnect outdoor hoses, drain and store in protected area.
- Wrap exposed faucets and pipes – including those outside the house or in unheated crawl spaces, attics, garages and other areas.
Plants
- Bring potted plants inside or store in garage near interior wall to provide extra warmth and protection from wind.
- For cold-sensitive outdoor plants, put down extra mulch and consider covering with a cloth fabric of some kind to shield the plants from wind and frost.
Additionally, if you have an irrigation system, turn off the water to the system at your backflow preventer and then drain the system so your irrigation pipes and sprinkler heads are not damaged.

No Boil Water Notice in Effect
There is no boil water notice in effect for Malcomson Road Utility District’s residents or businesses. The City of Houston has issued a Boil Water Notice for their water system and other systems affected by the City’s issue. While local media (and social media) are reporting boil water notices for the City and those other Water Districts in our area, these notices do not pertain to Malcomson Rd. Utility District, as the District maintains independent water production facilities. Again, Malcomson Road Utility District is not currently under a Boil Water Notice.
In the event a Boil Water Notice needs to be issued for our community, notification will be provided. For immediate and up-to-date 24/7 information, you can always reach out to EDP’s 24-hour Customer Service line at (832) 467-1599.
