Mo City, Sienna MUD OK ground-water plan

By SESHADRI KUMAR
Chronicle Correspondent

A 15-million gallon-per-day surface-water treatment plant is proposed in the vicinity of Sienna Plantation which may save millions of dollars for water districts in other parts of the city.

Missouri City and municipal utility districts are required to submit a groundwater reduction plan before 2008 and arrange for a 30 percent reduction in groundwater usage by 2013 and 60 percent reduction by 2025, under a mandate from the Fort Bend County Subsidence District.

Missouri City City Council Monday night unanimously authorized the mayor to execute a memorandum of understanding between the city and Sienna Plantation MUD No. 1 for a joint groundwater reduction plan, including a surface-water treatment plant. . .
