Grand Mission Municipal Utility District No. 1 Enhances Environmental Stewardship Through Stormwater Permit Renewal

Grand Mission Municipal Utility District (MUD)  No. 1 has initiated implementation of its Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)–approved Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) under the 2024 MS4 Phase II General Permit, reaffirming the District’s commitment to environmentally responsible stormwater management and water quality protection.

This important milestone ensures continued regulatory compliance while supporting the long-term enhancement of stormwater quality within the Fort Bend County region. The SWMP establishes a structured framework for managing stormwater runoff and reducing pollutants through best management practices (BMPs), public education, and pollution prevention efforts.

Stormwater runoff within the District ultimately discharges directly into an unnamed tributary which ultimately discharges into unclassified segment 1014b- Buffalo Bayou/Baker Reservoir. Through implementation of the SWMP, the District contributes to the protection of this receiving water body and supports broader watershed health, environmental stewardship, and public welfare throughout Williamson County.

The SWMP will guide stormwater compliance activities over the five-year permit term and includes a defined schedule for BMP implementation, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in stormwater quality management.

Vehicle Burglary and Theft During the Holidays

Holidays are one of the riskiest times of the year for vehicle burglary and theft in Texas. This time of year brings busy schedules, vacations, and more time on the road that can lead some drivers to let their guard down when it comes to locking doors and hiding personal items.

Remember:

  • Always lock your vehicle and take your keys.
  • Never leave your car unattended while it is running.
  • Park in a well-lit area.
  • Take valuables with you when you are not in your vehicle or keep them out of sight.
  • Give parking attendants the ignition key only.
  • Install an anti-theft device.
