The San Leon MUD has been operating under a Fire Suppression Contract with the San Leon Volunteer Fire Department for a number of years. The Contract calls for the MUD to collect a mandatory fee from its customers and pay the collected fees to the Fire Department to cover its expenses, to maintain its equipment, and to provide fire protection for the district’s customers. In return, the Fire Department is to remain accountable for the use of the collected funds, in part by providing an annual audit to the MUD, which would be available for the public to examine. The Fire Department has failed to produce an audit for 2023, despite numerous requests from the MUD Board to do so. The last formal request required the Fire Department to produce the require audit no later than February 14, 2025, some 14 months after the audit was due. The Fire Department responded by asking for additional time to produce the audit, but the Board held to its deadline and elected to declare the Contract in default . The Board will now pursue all other avenues available to secure a new contract to provide fire protection services. In the interim, the fire department fee will be listed on customers’ bills as “voluntary”.

Effective August 31, 2024, Texas Pride will no longer be our trash/recycle provider.

Starting September 2024, Decker Disposal out of Bacliff will be handling the trash. They are going to be purchasing trash cans, but it will take around 30 days for them to get delivered. For the time being please use a personal can or set the bags out on the trash collection day. There will be changes to the collection dates- that information is included in the map at the bottom of this page. There will not be a recycling day for San Leon; if you wish to recycle, please contact Decker Disposal, as they have recycling bins at their office.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE SET YOUR EMPTY TEXAS PRIDE CARTS OUT BY YOUR CURB BEGINNING ON SEPTEMBER 1 FOR PICKUP BY TEXAS PRIDE.
