Drought Plan
Learn more about the District's Drought Plan.
MUD No. 261 and Windfern Utility District customers receive water from two sources: the primary source being two groundwater wells owned and operated by WFUD. We also have an interconnect with the City of Houston by which we receive treated surface water.
Mowing Guidelines
Helpful lawn care hints for a beautiful summer yard.
It's important to adjust your mowing height during the summer months. Raise the cutting blades higher than normal, so that you're leaving at least 3 1/2 to 4 inches of turf. Longer turf will protect the roots of the grass from the hot summer sun.
Lawn Watering Guidelines
Keep your lawn lush - even in drought conditions.
The most efficient time to water lawns is early in the morning from 4 am to 8 am. Less water is lost to evaporation due to lower temperatures and less sunlight. Watering after 8 am wastes a lot of water: costing the homeowner and doing little for the grass.
