A contractor hit a water main in the Cinco Ranch Area (MUD 10). Valves are being isolated to stop the leak, so repairs can be made. Water pressure has been lowered at the water plants to help with water capacity in the ground storage tanks.
Attention Cinco MUD 5 Residents:
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued a notification regarding elevated levels of total trihalomethanes (TTHM) in our drinking water. During 2025 Quarter 1, testing revealed a compliance value of 0.086 mg/L, slightly above the EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 0.080 mg/L.
TTHMs are byproducts formed when chlorine (used for water disinfection) reacts with natural organic matter. While these compounds are common in treated water, prolonged exposure to levels above the MCL may pose health risks, including potential effects on the liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and a possible increased cancer risk.
Your safety is our priority. We’re committed to resolving this issue and ensuring transparent communication.
Note: Repeat notices will be issued every 90 days until compliance is restored. Certificates of delivery are required within 10 days of posting.
April showers bring May flowers! Make the most of natural rainfall by installing a rain sensor on your irrigation system. This simple upgrade helps prevent unnecessary watering and keeps your landscape healthy. Learn more at https://www.nfbwa.com/outdoor-water-usage.
