The North Harris County Regional Water Authority is immediately terminating Stage 1 of its’ Drought Contingency Plan (DCP), pursuant to Article III, 2 (B).
Please continue to conserve water to preserve our natural resources.
Compliance with the above requirements is mandatory.
Due to the issues at the City of Houston’s NEWPP, the Authority is experiencing difficulties in meeting the high demand under the extreme weather conditions. The Authority is implementing Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan immediately. The Authority’s Drought Contingency Plan request that any customer receiving water from the Authority or well owner whose well is included under the Authority’s Harris-Galveston Subsidence District aggregate water well permit:
Check for and repair all leaks, dripping faucets, and running toilets.
Compliance to the above recommendations is voluntary.
There is no boil water notice in effect for Lake Forest Utility District residents or businesses. The City of Houston has issued a Boil Water Notice for their water system and other systems effected 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 Lake Forest Utility District receivers, as the District maintains independent water production facilities. Again, Lake Forest 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.
The Stage 1 Drought Contingency Plan is being implemented at this time due to an ongoing water well repair in the District.
The goal is a 5% reduction in the use of all water and is voluntary at this time. Please conserve water daily under the following guidelines.
Mandatory measures may be imposed if a water shortage continues.
Lake Forest Utility District (the District) authorized AEI Engineering, a Baxter & Woodman Company (AEI) to perform a Water and Sewer Rate Analysis to determine representative costs of providing water and sewer services, as well as other general District operating expenses. Using data from the most recent 12-month period (July 2019 through June 2020), the analysis determined representative annual operating expenses for the water and sewer systems; overall administrative and management costs for the District generally were allocated evenly between water and wastewater costs. North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA) fees (collections and District expense) were evaluated independently.
Lake Forest Utility District (the District) authorized AEI Engineering, a Baxter & Woodman Company (AEI) to perform a Water and Sewer Rate Analysis at their regular meeting on July 21, 2020.
Using data from the 12-month period of July 2019 through June 2020, the analysis determined representative annual operating expenses for the water and sewer systems, cost per 1,000 gallons to
produce water and sewer services, water usage by connection type, Equivalent Single-Family Connections (ESFCs) by connection type, and maintenance tax per ESFC. Capital expenditures during
the analysis period were significantly higher than typical years. Therefore, a 5-year analysis was performed using data from 2015 to 2019 to determine the capital expenditure cost per 1,000 gallons of water billed.
