On behalf of the Directors of the Emerald Bay Municipal Utility District, I want to welcome all realtors to the District's Website. It is intended that the information on this website provide you and your clients with all the information necessary to transfer water and wastewater services when real property is bought and sold within the boundaries of the District, Windcliff Harbor, and Mallards Cove.
It is required that the Purchaser's Notice-Emerald Bay MUD and the Emerald Bay - District's Notice be signed at closing.
When you are assisting clients who are relocating to or leaving the Emerald Bay/Windcliff Harbor/Mallards Cove communities, it is advantageous for them to review this website giving special attention to the "Apply for Service" section. There are requirements that the District has placed into effect concerning the transfer of utility services that will help your clients streamline the process of transfer. These requirements will also keep the District in compliance with current Texas State Laws and District Ordinances & Rules.
The District requires that septic tanks be disabled and the property be connected directly to the District's wastewater collection system when a home changes ownership. Please contact a District Officer if you are involved with the sale of any of these listed properties.

Additionally, some mortgage lending organizations may request a copy of the District's "CERTIFICATE OF CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY" (CCN). This document is issued to all water purveyors in Texas by The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Lastly, we have provided links that we hope will help you and your clients locate some of the additional services generally needed when buying or selling property.
Sincerely,
William F. Harris
President
