community is on alert after being notified of elevated levels of lead detected in recent water samples.

John Taylor with Municipal Operations and Consulting, a company that works with MUD 70, says those tests may have been inaccurate, and when retested, the levels were normal."The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires all water systems to sample for the presence of lead. Residents of the West Gate and Paddock subdivisions in Harris County MUD 70 collected 20 samples during the period June 1- September 30, 2022, of which three samples exceeded the action level of .015 mg/L.

Because of this, there is no indication of a problem with the public drinking water in Harris County MUD 70. 1. Run your water to flush out lead. Run water for 15 – 30 seconds to flush lead from interior plumbing or until it becomes cold or reaches a steady temperature before using it for drinking or cooking if it hasn’t been used for several hours.
