The Commons at Rowe Lane is represented by the Lakeside Municipal Utility District ( MUD ) #3. It is the only community represented by the MUD. The MUD is funded through a portion of our property taxes. Currently that portion amounts to .9 % of the assessed value of your residence, which is just shy of 1/3 of your property tax bill. he MUD board of directors meets at an open meeting on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 P.M. in the Commons Amenity Center at 20601 Commons Parkway, Pflugerville, TX 78660.
As many of you know, the MUD receives wholesale water service from Manville Water Supply Corporation. The cost of that wholesale water service has increased from $3.50 per 1,000 gallons to $4.00 per 1,000 gallons, effective as of April 1, 2023. As a result of this increase, the MUD’s board of directors has adopted a corresponding $0.50 increase to the volumetric component of the retail rate that is paid by its residents. The current retail water rate charged by the MUD to its residents is comprised of a $16.00 per month base charge, plus the following volumetric charges: $4.65 per 1,000 gallons (0 – 7,000 gallons); $4.85 per 1,000 gallons (7,001 – 14,999 gallons); and $5.55 per 1,000 gallons (15,000+ gallons). The new retail water rate will be reflected on the utility invoices that MUD residents receive this month.
