District Profile

Bammel Utility District of Harris County, Texas (the “District”) was created by House Bill No. 1104, Acts of the 61st Legislature of Texas, Regular Session, pursuant to the provisions of Section 59 of Article XVI of the Texas Constitution. On May 15, 1978, the District applied for and was granted permission by the Texas Water Rights Commission, presently known as the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “Commission”), to convert to a municipal utility district and operate under Chapter 54 of the Texas Water Code. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, the District is empowered to purchase, operate and maintain all facilities, plants and improvements necessary to provide water, sanitary sewer service, storm sewer drainage, irrigation, solid waste collection and disposal, including recycling, and to construct parks and recreational facilities for the residents of the District. The District is also empowered to contract for or employ its own peace officers with powers to make arrests and to establish, operate and maintain a fire department to perform all fire-fighting activities within the District. The Board of Directors held its first meeting on November 13, 1969, and the first bonds were sold on August 3, 1970.
