Waterline Rehabilitation Project – Phase 1 Updates

Date: December 13th, 2024

The Board of Directors for West Harris County Municipal Utility District No, 9 (WHCMUD 9) would like to update residents as to the planned steps and current updates for Phase 1 of the Waterline Rehabilitation Project.

Summary of Work

Arandas Industries, Inc., contracted by WHCMUD 9, has been working through the following sections as part of the Waterline Rehabilitation Project- Phase 1:

• Winchester Country Trails 3

• Winchester County Trails 10

During preliminary excavation for this project, the contractor encountered PVC waterlines along Pearl Drive, Minturne Lane, and Crazy Horse Trail (from the southern District boundary to Copperdale Dr). The PVC lines in these locations were deemed to be in good condition, and no replacement was necessary.
