Maintenance of the Water Distribution System

Residents of Louetta Road Utility District

As part of the maintenance of the water distribution system and to improve the long-term water quality, Louetta Road Utility District, in conjunction with Terranova West Municipal Utility District will be temporarily changing the treatment chemical used to disinfect the water supply. This is being done to help address the water quality issues that were experienced this past summer. As this change can only be done when we are not receiving surface water, the treatment is a single event and not practical for normal operation. This will result in a slightly different odor and taste to the water. This project will be initiated the week of January 22, 2024. The entire project will take about 3 weeks.

We will send out additional information as we get closer to implementation of work.

Recent Taste and Odor Inquiries Regarding Drinking Water

The recent changes in taste and odor of the treated surface water being delivered by the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (the “Authority”) to a few districts are believed to be the result of a spike in Geosmin and Methyl-Isoborneol (MIB) which are naturally occurring compounds found in Lake Houston. All recent test results have confirmed that the water being supplied by the City of Houston to the Authority and by the Authority to its customers is indeed safe and meets all State and Federal drinking water requirements.

The Authority purchases treated surface water from the City of Houston’s Northeast Water Purification Plant (the “NEWPP”), the raw water source of which is the San Jacinto River and Lake Houston. Seasonal changes such as temperature and rainfall events can influence Geosmin and MIB levels in the water in Lake Houston. Seasonal changes in the lake can impart variations in taste and odor of the treated surface water. The City of Houston continuously monitors the incoming raw water and the finished water leaving the NEWPP to ensure its compliance with all applicable State and Federal drinking water standards.

The Authority is working with the City of Houston to mitigate the variations in taste and odor to the maximum extent possible. Proper disinfection levels are being monitored and maintained. Flushing, where appropriate, is being done to help alleviate the situation. The Authority is continuing to monitor, sample and test the water coming into our system and throughout our transmission and distribution system to ensure that the drinking water being delivered by the Authority is safe to drink.

In Response to the Discoloration of the Water

The City of Houston Northeast Water Purification Plant (NEWPP) Section Chief was contacted and informed us that the manganese level was higher than normal over the weekend, and treatment had been modified to neutralize the effects (including discoloration of the water). The Authority is currently receiving clear water from the NEWPP, and as the discolored water still in the system works its way through the system, the water received by the districts will regain its normal high quality. Manganese is covered in the EPA’s Secondary Drinking Water Standards as a chemical that may affect the aesthetics of the water for some customers when the SMCL is exceeded but does not pose a risk to human health.

NHCRWA implements Stage 1 of the Drought Contingency Plan

The City of Houston (COH), the primary source of water for the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (Authority), entered stage one of the COH Drought Contingency Plan on June 21, 2022, due to the observed drop in annual rainfall amounts and higher-than-normal daily temperatures. The COH’s drought response calls for voluntary water conservations efforts to reduce water use, that will reduce the daily volume of water delivered. The Houston Public Works Release can be found under https://nhcrwa.info/coh-stage1.

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.
  • Utilize water conservation measures such as displacement bags, low-flow shower heads and leak detection tablets. Additional water conservation tips can be found at https://wateru.nhcrwa.com and www.irrygator.com;
  • Limit irrigation to no more than two days per week, between 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. following the schedules below:
    • Sundays and Thursdays for single family residential customers with even-numbered street addresses.
    • Saturdays and Wednesdays for single family residential customers with odd-numbered street addresses.
    • Tuesdays and Fridays for all other customers.
    • No watering on Mondays.

Compliance to the above recommendations is voluntary.
