The LCMUD #1, formed around the original Water
District in Blue Lake, is a state chartered municipal utility district and operates as a
Texas state municipal entity. It is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission regarding water quality.In addition to the operation of the water plant and the distribution
lines, it is responsible for six (6) miles of streets in Blue Lake, having assumed that
responsibility from the property owners association in 1987. It also contracts for garbage
disposal for its residents. In 2000 it assumed the responsibility for streetlights
from the property owners association.
In 1996 the District contracted with the Lake LBJ Municipal
Utility District for waste disposal and treatment and in that connection built
transmission lines, lift stations, and provided grinder pumps to all properties in Blue
Lake, Deerhaven and Sandy Harbor that elected to participate in the program. The system
was completed early in 1997 at a cost of $2,100,000, funded by a loan from the Rural
Development Administration of $990,000 and a governmental grant of $1,100,000. |

the treatment plant to the golf course to provide effluent water for the course. The
return water line was paid for ($165,000) by the property owners association after it
received a 10 year loan for that purpose. The District provides the maintenance of the
line from the treatment plant to the pumps that serve the golf course. In 1998 the District contracted with the Lake LBJ Municipal Utility
District for fire and emergency medical services. The community approved a tax rate of 11
½ cents per thousand of the taxable value of property to pay for this service.
The District office also serves as a Community Office for
Blue Lake and handles the business affairs for the POA and its officers. It is the
focal point for all visitors to Blue Lake seeking information about real estate, maps,
directions, permits and the like.
The District is operated by a board of directors elected by
property owners in Blue Lake. It also has two full time employees who manage the daily
business affairs of both the District and the POA.
