[8] Divided by Halls Bayou and Greens Bayou, the 16 square miles (41,000,000 m2) district is roughly bordered by U.S. Route 59 to the east, the Hardy Toll Road to the west, Aldine Bender to the north, and Little York Road to the south.

[4] The district is governed by a volunteer board of directors, consisting of nine members serving staggered four-year terms.

Through these smaller-scale projects, the district has successfully improved subdivisions and neighborhoods like Tasfield (near U.S. Route 59 and Little York Road) and the North Houston Heights through grants from the Community Development Block Grant Program and the Texas Water Development Board, and agreements with the City of Houston and the Sunbelt Fresh Water Supply District, among others.

Future improvement plans encompassing eastern district neighborhoods, such as Westfield Estates and the Southwest Utilities service area, are estimated to amount to $31 million, with over half to be paid through local, state and federal grants.

These improvements would provide approximately 2,500 more homes and several hundred businesses with safer, more dependable sewer and water facilities.
