Stage 1 of Drought Contingency Plan

Brazoria County MUD No. 2 has implemented Stage 1 of their Drought Contingency Plan and the District requests consumers follow these guidelines:

  • Water customers are requested to voluntarily limit the irrigation of landscaped areas to Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8), and Saturdays and Wednesdays for customers with a street address ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9), and to irrigate landscapes only between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to midnight on designated water days.
  • Water customers are requested to practice water conservation and to minimize or discontinue water use for non-essential purposes.

Water Main Break Sunday

We’ve been informed by Inframark, our service provider, that a water main break has been reported. Field personnel are onsite isolating and assessing the issue.

An update will be posted once there is an ETA of repair.

Trash and Recycling Collection

Residents if you utilize cans that are not issued by Texas Pride, please ensure you label them clearly and appropriately, whether they are trash or recycle.

Ready for the Hurricane Season

In the case of an electrical power outage, Brazoria County MUD #2 has onsite generators at Water Plant #1, Water Plant #2 and Water Plant #3. Brazoria County MUD #2 also has a portable generator that can be used at lift station #1 and lift station #2, if the need arises.

Having a back-up generator ensures limited service interruptions in case of an electrical power outage. The generators will start automatically and keep the pumps/motors running until normal power is restored.

Brazoria County MUD #2 takes a proactive approach to make sure the generators are always operational at a moment’s notice. This proactive approach includes the following preventive and predictive maintenance measures:

  • Monthly facility generator load test (power outage simulation)
  • Bi-Monthly fuel testing (testing fuel for bacteria, water, sediment and contamination)
  • Quarterly maintenance (checking oil & coolant levels, testing the batteries)
  • Semi-Annual maintenance (replacing oil, oil & fuel filters)
  • Semi-Annual generator oil analysis (analyzing oil health, contamination and machine wear)
  • Annual generator load bank testing (ensures that your generator will run when needed so that you can count on it producing power during any kind of emergency that may arise)
  • Annual transfer switch maintenance (inspect all wiring, insulation, and connectors)

To ensure the generators have good/clean diesel at all times, Brazoria County MUD #2 has installed automatic fuel polishing systems on the generators at Water Plant #1, Water Plant #2 and Water Plant #3.

It is the goal of the District to always be prepared in case of any extreme weather events which might present themselves. If you have any questions regarding the District’s Emergency Preparedness, please don’t hesitate  to contact us.

RE: Brazoria County MUD No. 2 – CHANGE IN RECYCLE DAY

To Our Valued Customer:

First and foremost, we would like to thank you for being able to serve you and your community.  Over the last 18 months, we have faced a handful of unique challenges including the pandemic, the freeze, and a labor crisis.  As we continue to move away from these issues, we are confident our services will settle into a consistent schedule.

With these challenges, we have also been evaluating our routing to ensure that we are able to perform with the most efficiency.  In reviewing our routing, we will be moving your recycling day from Monday to Thursday beginning September 1st.  This will allow us to once again provide more consistent services for your community.

We apologize for the delays we have encountered and would like to thank you for the continued partnership.  With the changes being implemented coupled with separation from the unique challenges we have experienced, we are confident our services will once again exceed your expectations.

  • Monday, August 23rd: Trash and recycle services
  • Thursday, August 26th: Trash service
  • Monday, August 30th: Trash and recycle services
