Montgomery County does not operate a countywide water system. Most unincorporated areas are served by Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) that each set their own water conservation and restriction rules. The San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) manages Lake Conroe and regional water supply; SJRA GRP (Groundwater Reduction Plan) Division provides water to many South Montgomery County MUDs under SJRA's water management plan. During drought, individual MUDs may impose Stage 1, 2, or 3 watering restrictions. Contact your specific MUD for current restriction status.
Water waste: warning, then fines $50 to $500. Drought stage violations: escalating fines. Water district surcharges possible.
