The Seis Lagos Utility District (SLUD) has a rich history rooted in serving the Seis Lagos community with essential infrastructure and services. Originally established as a Municipal Utility District (MUD) under Texas Water Code Chapter 54, SLUD has evolved significantly since its inception. In 1989, the Texas Legislature reorganized and converted SLUD into a Conservation, Utility, and Reclamation District through Chapter 527, Acts of the 71st Legislature, Regular Session. This pivotal change reflected the district’s growing responsibilities and commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the community.
Further legislative actions solidified SLUD's expanded authority. In 1993, Chapter 1026, Acts of the 73rd Legislature, Regular Session, introduced additional enhancements to its operational framework, which were followed by Chapter 1148, Acts of the 75th Legislature, Regular Session, in 1997. These amendments empowered SLUD to take on a broader role, including the construction, maintenance, and operation of essential infrastructure such as macadamized, graveled, and paved roads and turnpikes.
Today, SLUD continues to honor its legislative mandate by delivering high-quality services to the residents of Seis Lagos. From water and wastewater management to road maintenance and fire protection, SLUD remains committed to the community's well-being and infrastructure needs. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and service excellence, SLUD plays a vital role in preserving and enhancing the quality of life in Seis Lagos.
