Drop Box Information Service Calls (24 Hours, 7 Days a week) Understanding Your Monthly Water Bill Fort Bend Municipal Utility District No. 23 is responsible for providing water, sewer, and garbage service to businesses and residents within its boundaries. Payment is due the 5th of each month and a residential water bill is calculates as follows:
Our MUD District's operator is Southwest Water Company. We contract with Southwest Water Company to read the meters, bill and collect monthly for water service in the district in addition to maintaining operation of our water/sewer system in a cost effective manner that meets all local, state, and federal guidelines. Fees for Late Payments/Disconnection Accounts not current within 30 days will be assessed a late charge equal to 10 percent of the unpaid balance. A notice of delinquency and warning of potential termination will be sent via United States mail, and a handling fee of $5.00 will be added to the account. Terminated services will result in a $50.00 reconnection fee and a $60.00 additional deposit. Payments that are returned for insufficient funds will also be assessed a $25.00 handling charge. Fresno Volunteer Fire Department Voluntary Donation Each month on your water bill there appears three line items. They are:
The Volunteer Fire Department Donation is a voluntary $3 donation to the Fresno Volunteer Fire Department (FVFD). The FVFD is the designated fire protection for the subdivisions that make up Fort Bend MUD 23. It is a truly volunteer department whereby no member receives compensation for his or her service. FVFD activities are funded through donations, fund-raisers held throughout the year and a fee per fire or medical run, paid by Fort Bend County. Monthly donations from the MUD 23 water bills average over $4,500 each month and reflect overwhelming generosity on the part of our community. Over the last six years this income has played an important role in the fire department's ability to make monthly payments on a fire truck that they would otherwise not be able to afford. The MUD Board Directors fully support the activities of the department but feel it is important to remind our customers periodically this line item on your water bill is voluntary. Each month you have the choice of subtracting the $3 from your bill prior to payment or donating a lesser amount. Thank you again for supporting OUR Fire Department.
