Nine (9) lift stations, scattered around the district, bring waste water to the wastewater treatment plant.
All lift stations, as well as the waste water treatment plant, are equipped with auxiliary power generators capable of operating the system in case of power outages.
Storm Drainage Facilities
The natural drainage divide in the District is defined approximately by Rayford Road.
West of Rayford Road, stormwater runoff is conveyed via a curb and gutter system into Montgomery County Drainage District No. 6 (DD 6) drainage channel which ultimately discharges into Spring Creek southwest of the District and then into the San Jacinto River.
East of Rayford Road, stormwater runoff is conveyed via a curb and gutter system into a regional drainage and detention facility, north of the District. Water from the detention pond is pumped into the Stokes Gully which ultimately discharges into the San Jacinto River. The costs to operate and maintain this facility is shared with MC MUD 88 and MC MUD 89. The facility is managed by Spring Creek UD.
The part of the District located south of the Riley Fuzzel Rd (or Grand Parkway) has a dedicated detention facility. Water from the detention pond ultimately discharges to the San Jacinto River.
