Why Stone Gate Residents Should Consider Attending Their MUD Board Meeting on May 28
For residents of Stone Gate, showing up to a midday meeting might not sound like a thrilling way to spend your Wednesday, but the May 28, 2025 meeting of the Remington Municipal Utility District No. 1 (MUD 1) Board is worth carving out time for.
Scheduled for Wednesday, May 28 at 12:00 PM, the board meeting will take place at Houston National Golf Club, located at 16500 Houston National Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77095—just a short drive from homes in Stone Gate. This isn’t just a routine gathering of officials. It’s a direct opportunity for residents to understand, question, and engage with the decisions shaping their neighborhood’s future.
What Is Remington MUD No. 1?
The Remington MUD No. 1 is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, created in 1986 and governed under the oversight of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Covering over 1,840 acres, the district includes all of Stone Gate and parts of the surrounding Cypress-Fairbanks area. It plays a crucial role in managing essential services like water supply, sewer systems, storm drainage, and road infrastructure.
Think of the MUD as a behind-the-scenes backbone of the neighborhood. While its work often goes unnoticed, its impact is everywhere—from clean tap water to functioning storm drains to maintenance of certain public spaces.
