THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS (August 22, 2016) – Harris-Montgomery Counties Municipal Utility District No. 386, the “District,” has lifted Stage 2 and triggered Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency and High Water Demand Plan for the Harris County portion of the District. The Woodlands Township reminds customers in this area, which includes Creekside Park and Carlton Woods at Creekside, to adhere to these voluntary guidelines.

Residents are advised to consider limiting irrigation to a maximum of two days per week. Odd addresses are allowed to water from 7 p.m. on Saturdays until 3 a.m. on Sundays and from 7 p.m. on Tuesdays until 3 a.m. on Wednesdays. Even addresses may water from 7 p.m. on Sundays until 3 a.m. Mondays and from 7 p.m. Wednesdays until 3 a.m. Thursdays.

The District is a customer of Harris County Municipal Utility District 387, "HC387," which provides water supply services to the Harris County portion of the District. HC387 owns and operates two water supply facilities. Both the District and HC387 agreed to remain on Stage 2 water restrictions until Phase I of Water Plant 3 was operational. That water plant is now functional and provides additional water well and ground storage tank capacity. As planned, the design of Phase II of Water Plant 3 is underway and will include even more water well and ground storage tank capacity.
