What we do in Texas
Water and wastewater engineering in Sugar Land
MES provides water and wastewater engineering in Sugar Land and across Fort Bend County. We design water distribution, sewer collection, lift stations and treatment systems for new development.
Many communities in this part of the Houston area are served by municipal utility districts (MUDs). We work with land developers and districts on the water, sewer and drainage a master-planned community needs.
We also prepare site civil plans for commercial sites, from grading and drainage to utility connections.
How permitting and review work in Sugar Land
Inside the city, the City of Sugar Land reviews plats and site plans and provides water and sewer service to most addresses.
The Fort Bend Subsidence District regulates groundwater withdrawals in Fort Bend County to limit land subsidence. Its plan requires groundwater users, including the City of Sugar Land, to shift part of their supply to alternative sources such as surface water.
TCEQ reviews public water and wastewater designs and wastewater discharge permits. TCEQ also reviews most MUD bond issues that pay for water, sewer and drainage. Construction sites that disturb one acre or more need coverage under the TCEQ construction stormwater general permit.
Work near Sugar Land
MES has finished civil site plans for drive-up water kiosk sites in neighboring Stafford, in Katy and across Houston. Another site is in progress in Rosharon. These sites are part of a kiosk site program that spans seven states.

Common questions
Who provides water and sewer service in Sugar Land?
The City of Sugar Land serves most addresses inside the city. Land outside the city is often served by a MUD or another district. Confirm the provider before design starts.
Does subsidence regulation affect my project?
It can, if the project relies on new groundwater wells. Check the Fort Bend Subsidence District's current regulatory plan for your area.
