Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District 23

The National Hurricane Center is projecting a category 3 hurricane, Laura, to make landfall sometime late Wednesday or early Thursday along the Texas coast between Freeport and the Texas-Louisiana border. Based on these projections, we urge all residents to secure any loose items; bring garbage cans in off the street; clear any drains on or near your property of trash can lids, floating bags, grass clippings, limbs, and leaves; and move cars to higher ground in order to try and prevent storm drains from getting clogged and vehicles/property from being damaged.

Trash will be collected Wednesday, August 26^th, starting at 7AM.  Extra debris outside of the trash cans will not be collected.

• Know what to do before, during, and after a hurricane.

• Create an emergency communication plan with your family before a hurricane.
• Have emergency supplies in place at home, at work, and in the car.
• Check your insurance coverage, damages caused by flooding are not covered under normal homeowner’s insurance policies.

• Listen to local officials.

Fort Bend MUD 23 is partnering with Fort Bend County to beautify some of our existing walking trails. The County is donating and transporting over 75 trees free of charge. We will be working diligently over the next few weeks to get these trees in the ground quickly to preserve their viability.

For your safety when you see this work in progress, please keep your distance and refrain from disturbing or moving any of the materials. As seen in the picture below these are well established trees that will provide nice shade in just a few short years.
