Extra Service for Bagged Debris

GFL will make a special passthrough in Pecan Grove on Saturday, July 20th to pick up bagged storm debris only. Have these items curbside by 7am. Please make sure these items are separated from large storm debris and visible for the crews. Do not park in the streets as trucks are having a difficult time collecting storm debris. Recycling service will resume normal pickup Monday, July 22nd.

Fort Bend County continues picking up large storm debris. For up to date information regarding storm debris pickup, please visit Fort Bend County Homeland Security and Emergency Management social media page.

Update Regarding Trash Service with GFL

In the wake of the hurricane and the large amounts of debris left from its path, it would be impossible for us to provide normal collection and be able to service all residents in your area.

By prioritizing and ensuring that ALL regular household garbage is collected each day and this weekend, we are preventing unsanitary conditions from happening in our neighborhoods.

This means we have limit regular bulk/green waste to three (3) bagged items outside the can and suspend recycle collection for the next week of July 15th.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get back to normal.

RECOVERY EFFORTS FOLLOWING HURRICANE BERYL

As early as Saturday, July 13th, Fort Bend County Road & Bridge will begin large storm debris collection. Please know it will take days for them to make rounds in Pecan Grove, so we are asking for patience during this time.

In order to recycle as many materials as possible, residents are asked to separate disaster debris into the following piles:

  • Construction and Demolition Materials (fence pickets, sheet rock, brick, etc)
  • Electronic Waste
  • Household Hazardous Waste
  • White Goods (large electrical goods used domestically such as refrigerators and washing machines, typically white in color)
  • Vegetative materials (trees, limbs, brush, leaves, etc.)

DO NOT MIX OR PLACE NORMAL HOUSEHOLD TRASH WITH STORM DEBRIS CURBSIDE.

Place the debris piles at the curb in the public right-of-way in front of your home or business as soon as possible. If debris is in the road or in your front yard, it will not be picked up.

Please do not block any public utility such as:

  • fire hydrants
  • water valves/meters
  • road signs
  • manholes
  • street signs

If properly separated, it will be picked up by crews. For the remainder of your household garbage, bagged storm debris and small bundled green waste, GFL is continuing to pick these items up until all have been collected.

For up to date information regarding storm debris pickup, please visit Fort Bend County Homeland Security and Emergency Management social media page.

THANK YOU.

Brazos River at Richmond Forecasted to Crest at 45.2′ on Saturday, May 11th: Pecan Grove MUD Monitoring Conditions Closely

The current flood gauge depth for the Brazos River at Richmond (at US 90 bridge) is 43.9’, as of Thursday May 9, 2024. The National Weather Service’s current forecast is for the Brazos River to crest at 45.2’ (gauge depth) on Saturday May 11th. For reference, the record crest at Richmond is 55.2’ during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

The forecasted crest gauge depth translates to a crest elevation of approximately 75’ (above mean sea level) at Pecan Grove MUD’s main outfall channel at FM 359. This elevation is approximately 10’ below the banks of the outfall channel, and approximately 15’ below the top of the Pecan Grove Levee (see below). There is currently no concern that the Brazos River will impact homes inside the Pecan Grove levee.

There is a forecast for approximately 2” of rain on Sunday, but the PGMUD internal drainage system has adequate capacity to handle this rainfall without concern.

PGMUD is actively monitoring conditions of the Brazos River. Currently, our Operator and Engineer are performing daily inspections of our facilities. We will keep our residents informed with any new updates.

 

 

UPDATE: Addressing Taste and Odor Concerns

Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District “PGMUD” has received the preliminary sample report from the 3rd party lab, Water Utility Services, Inc.  All samples were within permit, but 3 of the 27 samples did have a slight odor.  To view the report, click here.

This afternoon the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality “TCEQ” visited PGMUD to complete a site inspection of the water plants and pull their own samples throughout the distribution system.  They spent 3-4 hours in the district and found no abnormalities.  A few samples were taken back to their lab for further testing.  A formal report will be issued.

PMGUD general permit requires residuals to be no lower than 0.5 and no higher than 4.0 total chloramine.  Based on the Water Utility Services report, samples fall within permit range.

To move water through the system, Si Enviro heavily flushed water mains Sunday through Wednesday. The number of calls we have received today has decreased considerably, but if you are still experiencing odor in your water, please contact customer service at 281-238-5000 or 832-490-1601.

PGMUD wants to reiterate that your drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state regulations and is safe to drink.

Addressing Taste and Odor Concerns: Pecan Grove MUD’s Commitment to Water Quality and Safety

Water Quality Concerns:

Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District “PGMUD” is aware of the current concerns related to taste and odor in our water system.

All required state drinking water samples taken to date meet or exceed both the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality “TCEQ” and EPA drinking water standards. In an effort to look into the concerns, PGMUD is currently collecting additional drinking water samples for analysis by a third party lab.

PGMUD wants to reiterate that your drinking water continues to meet or exceed all federal and state regulations and is safe to drink.

NOTICE! Meeting Location Change

The April 30, 2024, PGMUD meeting location will now be held upstairs at Pecan Grove Country Club at 3:30 p.m.

This change is due to the number of residents who have expressed an interest in attending the meeting and the fact that there were over 100 residents at the April 17, 2024, meeting.

Please help inform other residents of this change.

Meeting of April 17, 2024

Over 100 residents attended the special Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District meeting on April 17,2024 at the PGMUD Administration/Community building.  After opening the meeting board president, Ryan Yokubaitis, opened the floor to public comments.  Approximately 15 resident expressed their support for PGMUD to purchase the land owned by the current Pecan Grove Country Club along with the club building (plus the pool, tennis courts and workout building).  As communicated previously, the current plan is for the club building and the golf course would then be leased by the group known as “The Club at Pecan Grove” (TCPG).  TCPG would operate the club and golf course as a separate entity.  Because of the PGMUD ownership, the Pecan Grove resident would be offered preferential memberships and rates at all facilities.

The PGMUD board then went into executive session and upon coming out of executive session voted to submit a Letter of Intent to Purchase (including an earnest money contract) to the current owners of Pecan Grove Country Club.

The Club at Pecan Grove and Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District

Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District (PGMUD) has become involved in the possible acquisition of Pecan Grove Country Club (PGCC).  The current owners of (PGCC) are in negotiations to sell the assets of the club to new owners.  A group of current members, The Club at Pecan Grove (TCPG), was looking to buy the assets if they could raise the capital to complete a deal.  The sale was not a certainty and the continued viability of PGCC or its successor is of major importance for our neighborhood.  If the current owners are unable to sell it, there is concern that it might be abandoned.  This would have very negative effect on property values in Pecan Grove subdivision.  The value of homes and property could decline by 10% to 20%, according to the Matheson and Associates, the financial advisor to PGMUD.

Something similar happened to the Quail Valley Country Club course several years ago and the impact on values was so substantial that Missouri City stepped in, bought the course and renovated it and the increase in property values has more than made up for the previous impact.

PGMUD is proposing to buy just the physical assets of PGCC and make arrangements for TCPG to manage those assets along with the membership.  Currently this acquisition is on going and will take several months to come to realization.  PGMUD will provide updates periodically in this website.
