to Article XVI, §59; Texas Constitution; Texas Water Code Chapter 65;
and 30 TAC Chapters 281 and 293 for: 1) authorization to convert H-M-W Water
Supply Corporation to H-M-W Special Utility District of Harris and Montgomery
Counties; and 2) contingent upon a successful confirmation election and dissolution
of H-M-W Water Supply Corporation, authorization for the transfer of Certificate
of Convenience and Necessity Numbers 10342 (water) and 20734 (wastewater)
into the name of H-M-W Special Utility District. H-M-W Water Supply Corporation
provides water service and limited wastewater service to approximately 3,162
rural water customers and approximately 53 rural wastewater customers. H-M-W
Water Supply Corporation was created in 1995 to purchase the assets of Coe
Utilities, Inc. The proposed District would contain a total of 11,036 acres
consisting of 38 non-contiguous tracts (service areas) in northwest Harris
and southwest Montgomery Counties, primarily in the general areas west and
northwest of the City of Tomball. According to the engineering report, H-M-W
Water Supply Corporation's purpose for conversion to a Special Utilities District
is for the economic benefits associated with the political subdivision status.
Specifically, it is anticipated that the cost of Texas Water Development Board's
long-term financing will be reduced by over $1,000,000 over a 20 year period
as a result of conversion to a Special Utility District.

the Commission for dissolution of FORT BEND COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT

then owned property within the District, and ratified, confirmed and approved
by Ft. Bend/Grand River, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, which now owns
the property within the District previously owned by Pecan 840, Ltd. The District
is located approximately twenty-five miles southwest of downtown Houston and
three miles north of Richmond, Texas. The petition for dissolution of the
District states dissolution of the District is desirable as the District has
never served the purposes for which it was originally created. The District
has been financially dormant for five consecutive years prior to this request
for dissolution, the District has performed no functions during this time
period, and has no bonded indebtedness. If the request for dissolution is
approved, the District's assets, if any, will escheat to the State of Texas
and will be administered by the Comptroller of Public Account of the State
of Texas and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by Chapter 74, Property
Code, and according to Water Code §49.327, and Commission Rule 30 TAC

The State of Texas vs. The American
Tobacco Company, et al.
; Civil Action No. 5:96CV-0091, in the U.S.
