The District website will be updated periodically to keep residents informed on the project’s schedule and progress.
Project Overview
Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 345 (MUD 345) began construction of its second water well on September 19, 2025, near the intersection of Kingsland Boulevard and Conifer Chase, at the southeast corner of the Second Baptist church property. This additional water well will expand the District’s production capacity and serve as a backup to the current well, helping to ensure a reliable water supply for our community.
Developing a new water well is a lengthy process that takes several months to complete. The estimated completion date for this project is August 2026.
Residents should be aware that:
- Drilling a water well can be noisy. To help minimize disruption, the Contractor has constructed a 24-foot-tall sound barrier before drilling begins.
- At certain stages of the project, crews may need to work 24 hours a day as part of the well development process.
December Project Update
- Mobilization of drilling equipment is expected to begin by mid-January.
- Once all necessary equipment is on site, the Contractor will drill the test hole, begin logging drilling data.
- The next several months of work will involve collecting and testing initial water samples, setting the well casing and cement, setting the liner, screens and gravel pack.
- This is followed by work to develop the well and validate the water well production rate.
- Once the test pumping equipment has been removed, the permanent equipment is ordered, manufactured, and installed.
- Final testing of the well and water samples is then conducted.
- A well completion report is sent to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Once approved, the well can be put online.
