Best Trash takes great pride in our recycle program. Ensuring the best recycle program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides. Please remove caps, liquids and food products from inside the containers. Please only use the provided recycle bin for recyclable materials. The BIN is NOT an extra trash container and will NOT be emptied as such. If items exceed capacity, please place them adjacent to the cart well marked as recyclable materials. Cardboard is recyclable, please break down all boxes flat, and place them next to the recycle bin for collection. Please place your recycle out to the curb by 7am once per week on Friday.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: If your regular trash or recycle collection day falls on a holiday (New Years, Independence Day, Christmas Days) the collection will be made on the next regularly scheduled collection day.

Your local water district, Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 91 (WCID 91) is moving forward with a phased construction project to replace aging underground water lines throughout various streets of the District. The replacement of the lines will be done using trenchless construction, which will allow for minimal disruptions. This process involves digging a pit several feet deep to conduct the work horizontally instead of trenching the length of the replacement.

Some sidewalks, driveways and front yards may still be impacted. The District will restore any impacted areas to existing conditions. Additionally, some fire hydrants will change locations due to updated standards. The construction is slated to take place on the following streets between Butte Creek Road and Ella Boulevard:

• Anvil Drive
• Corral Drive
• Tucumcari Drive

Construction will begin in February or March 2026 and should be completed by early summer.

Water line replacements on various other streets within the District are projected to occur in the coming years. The District has received a Texas Water Development Board long term loan for about $5,000,000 and is pleased to be investing in its infrastructure and ensuring that residents have access to reliable clean water for years to come. We appreciate your patience and thank you all for your cooperation. We are projecting there will be no tax rate increase for this project.

More information will be provided door to door as the project moves forward.  Water service should be interrupted for about 8 or less hours in sections of your street, usually 500 feet at a time.

For more information, we welcome you to attend upcoming District meetings. For more information about the upcoming meetings please visit our website at: https://www.hcwcid91.org/

Sincerely,

Harris County WCID 91 Board of Directors
