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 Tech Ridge, and 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.

Water Conservation Schedule -- Stage 1 Restrictions

The Northtown MUD is obligated by its water contract with the City of Austin to honor and assist with all water restriction efforts.

Due to the extreme and continuing drought conditions Stage 2 restrictions have been in effect. Recent rains have allowed the restrictions to be dropped back to Stage 1 effective November 21, 2009.
  • Odd-numbered residential addresses: outdoor watering on Wednesday and Saturday only.
  • Even-numbered residential addresses: outdoor watering on Thursday and Sunday only.
  • Watering is not allowed between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
More information on water use restrictions can be found in the District's Drought Contingency Plan
and on the City of Austin's Water Conservation page.

Reward
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.
