What is a MUD
A municipal utility district (MUD) is a special governmental entity of the State of Texas. Regulated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, a MUD's main function is to provide water and waste water services and maintain drainage facilities within its boundaries. A MUD may collect taxes, charge for services, condemn property, enforce restrictive covenants and make regulations to accomplish its purposes.
