Due to continuing drought conditions, low lake levels, and contractual requirements with our surface water provider; the City of Hudson Oaks is moving to Stage 2 of our water conservation plan.  Stage 2 limits outdoor irrigation to two days per week. 

Effective immediately, residential customers with addresses ending in an odd number (1,3,5,7,9) may only water on Wednesday and Saturday.  Residential addresses ending in an even number (0,2,4,6,8) may only water on Thursday and Sunday.  Commercial customers may only water on Tuesday and Friday.   As a reminder, daytime watering is prohibited between the hours of 10am-6pm and hose end watering and soaker hose use may occur any day of the week.

If new landscaping is installed, residents or builders may request a 30 day waiver to allow for plant establishment by contacting city hall at 682-229-2400.  For tips on drought resistant plants and water conservation click here.

Beginning in May, residential trash customers in Hudson Oaks will be able to take advantage of a new curbside recycling service. 

The City of Hudson Oaks has entered into a new contract for solid waste services.  While the frequency and method for trash collection will not change, under the new contract, residents will be able recycle and dispose of more brush and bulky material each month.  Trash collection days in Hudson Oaks will remain the same, and recycling collection will be on Thursday of each week. 

Complete information about the new and revised services was mailed to residents, and that information is available by following the links below.  Any questions about the new service should be directed either to Republic Services or to staff at City Hall.  Staff may be reached Monday-Friday; 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at 682-229-2400.

On April 22, 2010, the Hudson Oaks City Council adopted a new rate structure for the City's water system. The new rate structure is based on the results of a scientific rate study conducted by a third-party engineering firm specializing in such analysis.

Utility bills mailed to Hudson Oaks Water System customers on April 23 contained a letter from City Administrator Sheri Campbell-Husband explaining the new rate structure and listing the new rates themselves. A copy of that letter is available in the PDF file linked below.

The new rates go into effect with the May 2010 billing cycle, which means they will apply to all water consumption after April 8. Any water customers with questions about the new rates are encouraged to call Hudson Oaks City Hall at 682-229-2400.

The utility bills sent to water customers in November included a letter from Hudson Oaks Mayor Pat Deen. The letter provided an update on issues related to the City's water system, including information about recent media coverage and the ongoing water/wastewater rate study.

A copy of the mayor's letter is available below.
