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.

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.

Regarding larger storm debris, Fort Bend County Road & Bridge is coordinating the collection and removal of disaster debris within Fort Bend County to begin early next week.  For up to date information regarding this collection, please visit Fort Bend County Homeland Security and Emergency Management social media page.

Thursday, July 11^th, GFL will be out in Pecan Grove picking up normal household garbage. In addition, GFL will pick up separate small green storm debris. This storm debris must be no more than 4” in diameter, bundled less than 4 feet in length, and less than 40 lbs. Please separate your household garbage and small storm debris away from large storm debris. GFL has temporarily suspended recycle service this week to focus on the regular trash. Please be patient as they make their way through the community.

Pecan Grove Parks are closed until further notice due to the amount of storm debris.  Our grounds maintenance company is working to remove all the fallen trees and will provide updates once they are safe to access.

We will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience during this time. Remember to check on your neighbors and friends.

Pecan Grove Municipal Utility District “PGMUD” has received the preliminary sample report from the 3^rd 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.

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.
