PASSEDHouston City Council · 2025-11-12

The city council is considering an ordinance to approve a request from Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 588 to add about 47 acres of vacant land — near FM 2920, Castle Road, Binford Road, and Kickapoo Road — to its existing water and wastewater district. The land is planned for single-family homes and commercial development.

What it means for you

This item primarily affects property owners and future residents or businesses on those 47 acres, who would receive water, wastewater, and stormwater services through the district; the land remains under the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and the district must still get city approval before building utility infrastructure.

Outcome

Adopted — vote recorded in official minutes. Ordinance 2025-0953, official minutes of Nov 12, 2025.
