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. |

If you haven't yet downloaded the TDS Waste Wizard app, this would be a great time to do so. The app, available for both iOS and Android, offers alerts of any changes or disruptions in service. It also shows the schedule so you don’t have to look out your door to see if your neighbors have put out their carts when unsure of the service day.

Bulky Waste Collection -- Reminder of Changes in Policies and Procedures Although the first Saturday of the month has traditionally been your bulky waste pickup day, TDS will NOT pick up your bulky items left curbside any longer. Do not pile bulky waste curbside unless you have notified TDS that you need a bulky waste pickup. You must call TDS Customer Care at 1-800-375-8375 to schedule a bulky pickup at least 5 days in advance of your regular pickup day. Each household will receive two curbside bulky waste pick-ups per calendar year at no charge. Additional pickups must be arranged through TDS Customer Care for an additional fee. Bulky waste - Stoves, hot water heaters, washing machines, clothes dryers, and furniture; other large household waste material that do not contain coolants or hazardous materials; bags of leaves or other yard waste. Bundle – Tree, shrub and brush trimmings securely tied together, forming an easily handled package, not exceeding four feet in length or 40 pounds in weight. |
Theft & Burglary Prevention Tips:
- Lock all back gates & house doors. - Remove items from cars left outdoors & lock car doors. - Keep garage doors closed. - Immediately report any suspicious activity to 9-1-1.
Construction Updates:
New infrastructure such as roads, water and sewer lines, etc. are not built by the MUD. Each developer puts in the infrastructure needed to serve their housing or retail projects and is responsible for the schedule of such work. The weather and construction conditions are very dynamic, but monthly updates are available in the Engineer's Report section of the meeting packets. |

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, as well as the sound-barrier fencing along Howard Lane, McCallen Pass (Heatherwilde Blvd) and Greinert Drive.
In time Northtown will have a first-class park system. Amenities already include a pavilion, dog parks, ball fields, trails and playscapes.
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 reward of up to $500 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of any person vandalizing or otherwise committing a crime against District property, including parks and park fixtures, signs, and utility facilities. Multiple awards will be paid for multiple perpetrators. 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 the Travis County Sheriff's Office. |

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. |
