Welcome to the Northtown Municipal Utility District Website

|
The Northtown Municipal Utility District was created in 1985. Its approximately 1224 acres lie just east of Interstate 35 between Austin and Pflugerville, bounded by Howard Lane to the south and Highway 685/Dessau Road to the east.
The district includes the Northtown Park, Meadow Pointe, Wildflower, Settler's Meadow (The Trails at Sunset Ridge), The Lakes at Northtown, and the Brookfield neighborhoods, a new elementary school, several parks and ponds, a hike and bike trail, and still has room to grow. Future development may include The Village at Northtown neighborhood, more multi-family residences, light retail, and even a fire/EMS station. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided on this site is accurate. This information is provided for your convenience only and does not override any part of the official records and documents of the District. |
Capital Metro's Route 243 runs from the Howard Rail station to the Tech Ridge Transit center. Effective January 15, 2012, this route will be realigned to include new stops on Wells Branch Parkway and Heatherwilde Blvd near Wildflower. map

Winter Averaging
The winter averaging period will begin this year on December 1, 2011 and will end on March 1, 2012. Winter averaging is a good time to practice water conservation. It's also a great time to observe all outdoor watering restrictions. What's winter averaging all about? During the winter months, most residential water usage is for households -- cooking, bathing, laundry, and such, and not for outside uses such as car washing, lawn watering and keeping the pool filled. Your base wastewater charge for the upcoming year is calculated according to how much water you use during these three months. Reduce your outside watering during winter averaging and you can save money all year long! (More information on winter averaging here.) |

The Northtown Municipal Utility District Board of Directors hopes that you have noticed the many improvements that are being made in your parks and parkland.
In time Northtown should have a first-class park system with dog parks, ball fields, trails and other nice amenities.
Unfortunately, some people don't appreciate nice parks and don't want you to enjoy them either.
Graffiti has been sprayed on many surfaces including park structures, signs and trees, and other damage has been reported as well.
The Northtown MUD offers a $250 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone vandalizing or otherwise committing a crime against District property, including parks and park fixtures, signs, and utility facilities. The Northtown MUD will prosecute any person identified as engaging in criminal activity on or against any District property. The District will also seek restitution and damages, including the cost of any reward(s) paid, from any person convicted of damaging District property. Please report suspicious activity to: Keith Kinnard, Senior Deputy Travis County Sheriff's Office Crime Prevention Inspector E-mail: keith.kinnard@co.travis.tx.us Pager: 935-1168 |

Restrictive
Covenant Corner Is your grass running over the curb? Are your flowerbeds weeded? Are your shrubs pruned? With the arrival of summer, your neighbors are in the yard, working to preserve not only their investment, but your investment as well. Won't you join them? Part of being a good neighbor is keeping your residence looking nice. It's important because a well-kept lawn is required by your Restrictive Covenants. Restrictive Covenants are legally enforceable promises you made when you purchased the property. If you are a renter, your landlord is required to make sure you abide by these promises. So be a good neighbor. Check your lawn and make sure it is mowed, edged, and weed free, and your shrubs are pruned. You can write or email the District's Covenant Coordinator with any questions about restrictive covenants or complaints about other properties. |
