Background

According to the order, Hero Way West Municipal Utility District was created by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and its voters confirmed the district and elected permanent directors at a May 3, 2025 election.

The board approved an engineering report estimating $178,500,000 for water, sanitary sewer, and drainage and storm sewer facilities, including related costs and refunding bonds.

The district estimates that if the bonds were approved and issued, its debt service tax rate would be at most about $1.20 per $100 of assessed valuation. The order says this estimate is not a limit on the unlimited tax.

Put on the ballot by Hero Way West Municipal Utility District Board of Directors, unanimous, July 24, 2026 (Order Calling Bond Elections).
