Reporting Sinkholes
What causes sinkholes?
Sinkholes form when groundwater dissolves rocks in the ground creating a void. In our District, while this is possible, the more common issues are related to infiltration of the underground pipes. An example would be cracks in the storm and sewer pipes. When it rains, it washes out dirt into the pipes creating a void. The other issue we see is the natural settling of dirt and soil above pipes. When pipes are replaced or repaired, you cannot compact the soil because it would potentially crack the pipes. Over time, the ground will sink while it compacts itself. The solution that issue is backfilling more dirt into the depression. Whatever the issue, a dye test can be conducted by MOC to determine the exact issue and make the appropriate repairs.
How to Report Sinkholes On Your Property
-
You notice a depression or sinkhole forming in your yard or you see a gap forming near a curb, manhole cover, or water/sewer pipe.
-
Call MOC immediately at 281-367-5511 and report the issue.
-
MOC will send a staff member to inspect and assess the issue. If needed, they can perform a dye test to see if there is infiltration into a sewer line.
-
Issue is repaired or next steps are determined.

Residential Water Diagram
For Residential water services, WCID110 is responsible for the water mains and public water service lines that go to the water meter. The resident is responsible for all water lines from the water meter to and in the house.
If there is an issue with a water main, the main will be shut off by the District and that will impact all properties connected to the main. If there is an issue on the residential property, that is the responsibility of the resident and all expenses are the responsibility of the resident.
The water meter box and electronic water meter components are WCID110 District property and only District employees or representatives are allowed to access the water meter or perform any work on the meters. For inquiries related to water meters, please contact MOC, the District Operator.
Locating Your Home Shut-Off Valve
Almost every home has a main cut off valve to turn water off to your home. Your main cut off valve should be on the same side of the home as your water meter. In some cases, it is located within the home behind a covered panel opening. In an emergency, such as a broken line, use this valve to shut off the water to the home. If there is an emergency, you will need to act fast. It is a very good idea to locate your valve now so you can find it quickly in the event of an emergency. Be sure you have found the correct valve. Try turning it off briefly and see if all the water is off. If the valve is not working, contact a plumber to repair or replace it. Maintenance of the main cut off valve is the owner’s responsibility. Do not depend on the water meter valve to shut off your water. It can be easily broken, or seized. In most cases it requires a special wrench to turn. The meter is for District use ONLY. You could be charged a tamper fine for turning on or off the meter valve.
Tips for Winterizing Your Water Pipes
December 2022 and January 2023, we experienced some significant cold weather. This year, we want to be prepared for anything by planning ahead. Here are some tips for prepping your home for the cold weather ahead.
Home Owner or Renters Insurance
-
Review your home insurance policies and make sure you have the coverage you need and want.
-
Utilities insurance programs...are you signed up for any? If so, know where that information is and make sure it is safely secured.
Inside the House
-
Keep your house heated to a minimum of 65 degrees at all times.
-
Check the location for the main water shutoff in your home. It is commonly in the garage area. Make sure it is accessible.
-
Open hot and cold faucets enough so they can drip slowly when temps drop below freezing. Best to do this with the furthest faucets from the water heater.
-
Check that fireplaces, wood stoves, and electric heaters are working properly. Have an inspection done or a cleaning performed if you aren’t sure or haven’t had one in a while.
-
Keep your fireplace flue closed when you’re not using it.
-
Talk to your neighbors about watching out for each others houses when you’re gone if the weather gets below freezing.
-
Do not turn on and open up your oven for a heat source...this is a bad idea.
Outside the House
-
Watch for any weather forecasts where we have extended below freezing temps.
-
Identify any tree branches or limbs that may be of concern and either cut them down or contact a tree service to perform the work for you. If they are near power lines, contact CenterPoint and request service...DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CUT THOSE YOURSELF!!!!
-
Cover exterior faucets with a plastic layer (grocery bag, plastic sheeting) and then cover with thicker outer layer. Make sure the layers are secured properly. The plastic layer can help keep the metal from getting wet then freezing.
-
If you have a pool then either run your pool pumps 24/7 or drain all pumps and shut them off during freezing temps.
-
Keep your garage doors closed.
In the event of a problem
-
Residents are responsible for any water line issues from the meter box to the residence and any pipes inside the residence.
-
Don’t wait for frozen pipes to burst...go ahead and shut off main water valve in the house.
-
If your pipes burst, immediately turn off the main water valve.
-
Properly dry and repair any water damage.
-
If you are out and about and see water leaks somewhere, please call MOC at 281-367-5511 and report the leak.
