LMUD is more transparent than some may think!
A message from the LMUD President
One of the issues that I recognized when I took office was the perceived lack of transparency at the Lakeway Municipal Utility District (LMUD). I say perceived because a lot of information is out there but we, apparently, haven’t done a good enough job of letting our customers know where it is.
Being able to access information on demand at any time is important in today’s hectic world. The Lakeway MUD’s website opens a direct channel of communication for our customers to access pertinent information 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
What can you find on the District’s website?
- General information including who we are, what we do, office hours, your General Manager, Board of Directors and Committees, as well as answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs);
- Meeting notices, agendas and Board and Committee meeting minutes;
- Financial information including the balance sheet, annual budget, and audit results;
- Water conservation, drought conditions and water tips;
- Detailed information about current projects and construction;
- Rates and online services, including electronic bill paying and the ability to establish new service or make changes to your current account;
- Access to important ordinances, permits, governing policies and Texas water code regulations;
- Press releases, newsletters, and much more!
Our purpose is to provide our customers superior water, wastewater and water reuse services at reasonable costs in an efficient manner, today and in the future. We accomplish this through our values by gaining and maintaining the confidence and respect of our customers, employees and community and by delivering innovative, responsive and reliable service.
We take pride in being socially and environmentally responsible and were recently recognized by the office of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts with a Gold Leadership Circle Award for financial transparency.
We want to hear from you -- let us know how we are doing and look us up on our website at www.lakewaymud.org.
