Municipal Drainage Utility System
The TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality), in following an unfunded federal mandate, has initiated regulations in regard to storm water collection. When it rains, runoff picks up and carries a wide variety of pollutants into our storm water system. These pollutants then flow into our local waterways and reservoirs. Cities are required to submit a storm management program and obtain a permit. Highland Village has developed a Municipal Drainage Utility System (MDUS) and initiated a user fee to provide stable funding to ensure the City complies with the federal mandate. FAQ
