About Us
UNDERSTANDING YOUR WATER METER:
- Your water meter records cumulative usage, similar to your car's odometer - the numbers continuously increase without monthly resets.
- To calculate water usage between readings, subtract the previous reading from the current one.
- The triangular leak indicator rotates when even small amounts of water flow through the meter.
- The Water Department only reads to the hundreds place for billing purposes since rates are calculated per thousand gallons.
- Meter readers clean only the portion of the display needed for billing records.
USING YOUR METER TO DETECT LEAKS:
- For accurate leak detection, read all digits including decimal places to track changes over short periods.
- Water meters require actual water flow to register changes - there are no batteries or springs to cause false readings.
- Meters typically slow down with age (under-registering usage) rather than showing inflated numbers.
- The District generally replaces residential meters after one million gallons have been registered, or sooner if malfunctioning.

Office Hours & Emergency Services:
Our office operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding holidays. After-hours emergency service is available for water main breaks and blockages, but billing inquiries are only handled during regular office hours.
Water Source:
We primarily purchase water from North Channel Water Authority, which obtains treated water from the City of Houston. The City sources raw water from Lake Houston (San Jacinto River) and the Trinity River, treating it to meet Federal and State standards before distribution. Our own wells are occasionally used to maintain operational readiness. Emergency generators ensure water production during power outages.
Wastewater Processing:
The District's sewer collection system pumps wastewater to a regional treatment facility where it's treated to meet Federal and State requirements before discharge into Carpenter's Bayou, which flows to Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Emergency generators support sewer pump stations during power failures.
Billing Information:
Meter readings typically begin around the 10th of each month and finish by the 15th. Bills are usually mailed by month-end. If you haven't received your bill by the 5th, please check your account online or contact our office. Customers are responsible for timely payments to avoid penalties or service disconnection.
