Welcome to the website of Flamingo Isles Municipal Utility
District of
Galveston County, Texas (the “District”), a
political subdivision of the
State of Texas. The District is a
water control and improvement district operating pursuant to
Chapters 49 and 51 of the Texas Water Code under the supervision
of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The District was created by a special act of the
Texas
Legislature in 1965. It was dormant for many years. In 2003,
it was reactivated and reconfigured. The District now contains
852 acres, consisting of the
Harborwalk development and some
surrounding undeveloped acreage.
The District is wholly within the boundaries of the
City of
Hitchcock, Texas. The District is principally concerned with the
construction and maintenance of the bulkheading within
Harborwalk and the dredging of the canals and the channels to
the Intercoastal Waterway. It is wholly supported by ad valorem
taxes paid by landowners within its boundaries.
The District is governed by a five member
Board of Directors,
composed of residents and landowners in Harborwalk. Please
browse our site for more information about the District.
