With Hurricane Laura strengthening as it approaches the Texas/Louisiana border, Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 151 (FBCMUD 151) wants to reassure all Firethorne residents that it is monitoring the situation in conjunction with the Districtā€™s operator, Inframark.
- FBCMUD 151 and Inframark are continuously monitoring Hurricane Laura as it is expected to make landfall Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
- In preparation, Inframark has topped off the diesel generator at the water plant, and there is a natural gas generator on-site as backup. Loss of service is not expected. Residents should report any issues with utility service to Inframarkā€™s 24-hour dispatch line, 281-398-8211.
- If you have irrigation or sprinkler systems, pool auto-fills, or other systems that are water-use heavy, make sure you turn them off prior to the storms so they are not operating and potentially wasting water.
- Firethorne residents should fuel vehicles and generators now.
