Drip, Drip, Drip…Let’s Talk Leaks!

Guess what! National Fix A Leak Week is March 14-20th and we want to be sure you have the best resources to keep you informed of the little problems caused by water leaks. Awareness of what to look for and knowledge of how to fix any leak issues can go a long way in prevention and saving money. Leaks can run, but they can’t hide!



Did you know that simple faucet leaks amount to approximately 1 trillion gallons of water wasted each year? That’s huge! And so easily preventable! Not to mention, leaks are costly. Taking time each year to perform a preventative check, can help keep your check book in order.
When you are on the hunt for possible leaks, it is important to start with the data… Begin with your water bill, check your meter, and test your toilets. These will give you some clue as to the prevalence of a water leak in your home.

The EPA recommends the following checklist for tracking down a leak! Here are some of the best-known hiding places to start. Keep your ears open!

• Bathroom

  • Toilets
  • Faucets
  • Showerheads
  • Under the sink
  • Don’t forget the tub!

• Laundry Room

  • Check all of your hook-ups!
  • Look for pooling in the washer itself (it could indicate a source leak)

• Kitchen

  • Check all appliances, such as the dishwasher and fridge. Many times, there are leaks behind them.

• Basement and Garage

  • Sinks
  • Exposed pipes
  • Water Heaters

• Outside

  • Spigots
  • Irrigation controls and sprinkler heads

For the MUD Tax, there are a few payment options.

ASW does accept payments via the post with either personal check, cashier’s check, and money order. A homeowner may also visit us at one of our offices, as we accept cash payments onsite as well.

For electronic payments, homeowners can visit our website www.aswtax.com or call 888-477-0870 to make payments with a credit card or electronic check. Please keep in mind that these payments are accepted through a third-party, therefore there is a 2.99% fee.

One option is also for an electronic payment via bill payment through a homeowner’s personal bank. He/She would have to contact or setup through bank’s website directly and set up Cypress Hill MUD as a payee. Once setup, the bank may send the payment(s) on the homeowner’s behalf.

Due to the safety of employees, residents and closure of landfills, Best Trash has made the decision to suspend services for Monday, 2/15/2021 and Tuesday, 2/16/2021. We are hopeful to be able to resume normal service on Wednesday, 2/17/2021. Please share this information with others in your neighborhood. For additional trash updates check back here or visit Best Trash online at www.best-trash.com

Cypress Hill Municipal Utility District residents may have learned that there was a main line break that is affecting the City of Houston. A boil water notice has been suggested for residents of the City of Houston only.

This news post is to let Cypress Hill MUD residents know this suggested boil water notice and main line break will not affect the District. The District does not receive any service or water from the City of Houston, and the system is working as designed and without issue.

Again, the District will not be affected in any way by the situation in the City of Houston.

Wishing You A Happy Thanksgiving
