New Caney MUD breaks ground on new admin building, water storage tank
The New Caney Municipal Utility District hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Jan. 28 for the district’s new administration building. About the project General Manager Rick McDonald said New Caney MUD has been at its current location—23696 Roberts Road, New Caney—for 36 years and has since outgrown the space. “The new admin building will provide room for growth as well as move the o ce to a more centralized location in the district and hopefully be easier access,” McDonald said. He added the project will also include the construction of a 1.5 million gallon elevated water storage tank. “The elevated storage tank will bring much needed capacity for the district to comply with
[Texas Commission on Environmental Quality] regulations,” McDonald said. Some context TCEQ is responsible for general supervision and oversight of water districts, including water con- trol and improvement districts, specialty utility districts, river authorities and MUDs. The New Caney MUD provides water services for the vast majority of Community Impact ’s New Caney-Porter coverage area, excluding neighborhoods like Tavola and The Highlands, among others. The details The nearly $11 million project is being funded by a combination of two bonds, McDonald said. Construction is expected to take one year and wrap up in early 2027.
