District Updates – March 2023

District Operator, H20 Innovation News

To make it easier for residents to access information, set up new service, pay their water/sewer bill, and to call or email the call center, H20 Innovation has redesigned their website. You can access it from either the District’s website, https://www.tnwmud.org or H2O’s website, https://h2ocustomers.com/pay-my-bill.

Reclaimed Water for Irrigation Project

The contractor laying the phase 1 T C Jester reclaim water line estimates a March completion date. Upon completion, the work area will be restored as it was.

The Board has received the analysis and new irrigation design documents from the irrigation consultant working on the phase 2 new irrigation system. Once the documents have been reviewed and accepted by the Board, the next step is to begin the request for a quote process.

The current go live estimate is October 2023.

A FAQ document about the project and a map detailing where the line will run in the District can be found on the District’s website.

Questions about the project? Email the Board or, better yet, attend a monthly meeting and ask your questions.
