WCID110 Water Use Restrictions - Stage 2 - MANDATORY
In Effect As of Thursday, August 17, 2023
Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 110 is unable to provide water at the customary levels or pressure.
Mandatory water use restrictions are in effect for Harris County WCID110 (“the District”). The water supply system of the District will not be able to meet water demand unless water use restrictions are observed. If water use demands are not curtailed, it may be necessary to implement additional water use restrictions. The water use restrictions will remain in effect until Water Well 1 is repaired or drought conditions cease.
To ensure that an adequate supply of water is available for drinking and bathing, you are hereby notified that Stage 2 of the Drought Contingency Plan is now in effect. Stage 2 includes the MANDATORY water use restrictions set for the below. Any person who violates the water use restrictions set forth below is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500). Each day that one or more of the provisions in this Plan is violated shall constitute a separate offense. If a person is convicted of three or more distinct violations of this Plan, the Operator shall, upon due notice to the customer, be authorized to discontinue water service to the premises where such violations occur. Services discontinued under such circumstances shall be restored only upon payment of a re-connection charge, as set forth in the District's Rate Order, and any other costs incurred by the District in discontinuing and re-connecting service. In addition, suitable assurance must be given to the District that the same action shall not be repeated while the Plan is in effect. Compliance with this plan may also be sought through injunctive relief in the district court.

Electronic Water Meters
MOC has begun its installation of electronic water meters, but this will take several months and installation depend on how often we receive additional meters from the vendor.
When the meter for your residence is installed, MOC will place a door hanger on your door. You can then download the EyeOnWater app and create your account and start tracking your water usage through the app.
