- Log on to the association’s website (https://concordbridge.nabrnetwork.com/) and pay via e- check, credit card or debit card.

CONCORD BRIDGE MUD SERVICES
Services in Concord Bridge are provided by two different Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs). Areas covered and service providers are shown below. The overhead power lines running north and south through the subdivision are the dividing line between the MUD responsibilities. The two trash collection companies observe different holidays. Please note if a holiday falls on a regular trash collection day, the trash will be picked up the next SCHEDULED day, NOT the next day. Please do not place your trash out until the correct day.
If you have a manhole cover in your yard, driveway or sidewalk and it is causing problems, please contact your Municipal District Services, LLC, 281-290-6503. They cover both MUD Horsepen Bayou and Harris County 102.
Concord Bridge Sections 1 through 5 and Concord Bridge North, Sections 2 and 3.

PROPER DISPOSAL HELPS EVERYONE!
Do you know what to do with leftover used cooking oil and grease?
Never wash cooking fats, oil or grease (FOG) down the drain, as they can cause the sewer line to back up into your home. If the drain clogs and causes a sewer line blockage it may cause the back up to flow onto the street and into the storm drains which flow to our bayous and eventually Galveston Bay. This material is harmful to the waterways and the creatures that live there.
RECYCLE IT INSTEAD!
The Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Facility provides a free residential FOG drop-off site for easy disposal. FOG items can be recycled into bio-diesel fuels, a feed additive for animals and other processes that save natural resources. Please do NOT mix FOG with any other items, such as automotive waste (no auto oils or lubricants) because if these are mixed they cannot be recycled. Also, please bring your FOG in a container that we can keep. This service is for residents of Harris County only.
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG!
By law, homeowners or contractors planning projects involving digging must call 811 at least 48 hours in advance of any digging. Free of charge, the notification center alerts utilities such as electric, gas, cable and phone companies so they can mark the location of the underground lines. Visit www.texas811.org for more information.
HARRIS COUNTY ALARM PERMIT
A permit is required for all alarms in Harris County. Obtaining the required permit will avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees.
Go to the website at www.hcso.hctx.net and click on forms. The application should be completed and mailed with the appropriate fees to the address shown on the application. A new permit will cost $35 and annual renewals are $10. Should you have any questions, please contact the Alarm Detail office at 713-755-4600 during normal business hours.
BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING
Passing a stopped school bus with red flashing warning lights is against the law and can result in a very expensive ticket. Watch for children waiting for school buses in the early mornings and while returning home in the afternoon.
