Urgent Compliance Alert: Essential Updates on Sewer Connection Regulations and Enforcement Measures for Caney Creek MUD Residents

Notice to All District Customers:

The district will be strictly enforcing all sewer connections guidelines in order to prevent costly future and higher sewer fees during the heavy raining and flooding events, per sewer agreement rules and regulations.

Referencing: Section 4 and 14A Exhibit Dl.07, 1.08, 1.10 and 3.09.

Under No Circumstances may groundwater or rainwater be discharged into the Caney Creek MUD’s Sanitary System.

Cleanout access shall not be covered underground, or any yard debris covering cleanout and shall be maintained in a matter which will prevent entry of ground/rainwater. All RV and Tiny Houses connections must be a threaded RV Adapter/Coupler (If not hard plumbed in) on all clean outs. All cleanouts must be closed with a threaded cap when not in service. Air Intakes (Candy Canes) also must be maintained at a minimum of 18″ or above natural ground level or higher depending on normal flood level. Candy Canes shall not be loose and must be maintained.

If property is found during rain or flooding event without a cleanout cap and/or broken adapter, there will be an additional $125.00 Emergency fee added to your account. If cleanout and/or air intake (candy cane) is not able to be plugged during rain/flood event, then the sewer and water service will be terminated. A reconnect fee of $300.00 will be added to your account and service will be restored after CCMUD inspects all repairs before covering.

In regular dryer days same rules apply, however a 10-day disconnection notice will be given by certified mail, to avoid interruption to your water/sewer service. It is up to the customer to have their files updated with proper addresses and phone numbers at CCMUDS office so CCMUD can directly communicate termination notice.

This is a “0” tolerance excuse, “never received a notice” policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office, (979) 245-0245.

Thank you for your cooperation,
