"KAEDC works to coordinate local MUDs"

Informational article, 

"KAEDC works to coordinate local MUDs"

http://impactnews.com/articles/kaedc-works-to-coordinate-local-muds/

excerpts:

"MUDs are quasi-governmental organizations that provide water, drainage, roads and other essential services to an unincorporated area to allow development to occur there."

"According to Rick Lawler of the Katy Area Economic Development Council, there are 87 MUDs operating in the organization’s service area."

"A typical MUD has four primary functions: water, sewer and drainage; parks and recreation; fire fighting; and roads."

"Beyond core services, MUDs also help beautify a community through recreation projects. That includes landscaping and maintenance, sidewalks, community pools, playgrounds, etc."
