Fairfield MUDs Commit to Public Safety Enhancements with Support for Constable Substation and Flock Camera Network
Two recent actions by Fairfield-area utility districts highlight growing collaboration among local leaders to strengthen neighborhood safety, especially for residents in sections such as Inwood Park.
At a May 19, 2025 meeting, the Board of Directors for Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 155 voted unanimously to pledge $25,000 toward the construction of a new Precinct 4 Constable Substation in Cypress. The decision came after receiving a follow-up letter from Cypress Hill Municipal Utility District No. 1 (Cy-Hill MUD 1), which is leading the effort to develop a permanent facility for law enforcement officers currently working out of a retrofitted trailer.
“This arrangement is beneficial to all contract holders in the Cypress area,” the Cy-Hill letter stated, “since the Constables can begin and end their workday at our facility rather than using contract time to drive back and forth from Cypress.”
Cy-Hill MUD 1 has asked six Fairfield-area MUDs—including WCID 155—to contribute $25,000 each toward a portion of the project specific to the Constables' use. The facility will include 2,100 square feet of dedicated office space and 40 parking spaces at a total estimated cost of $947,872.93. All pledges will be held in escrow and used solely for the Constable-related portion of the building. Donor entities will also be recognized on an “Honor Roll” at the substation once completed.

Area-Wide Flock Camera Partnership Approved
Separately, on April 28, 2025, Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 322—the MUD serving Inwood Park in Fairfield—unanimously approved a multi-district Cost Sharing Agreement for Flock Safety cameras. The agreement brings together five MUDs within the Fairfield master-planned community (MUDs 322, 354, 358, 396, and 397) to jointly finance, install, and maintain license plate reading cameras throughout the area.
Under the agreement, Harris County MUD No. 358, which acts as the regional district, will manage the contract with Flock Group, Inc. on behalf of all participants. The cameras will be used by Harris County Constable Precinct 4 deputies for investigations and active patrols, enhancing law enforcement’s ability to deter and respond to crime in real time.
Each district has agreed to pay one-fifth of all associated costs, including installation, maintenance, and future renewals. The initial term of the agreement runs for 24 months, with automatic renewal unless districts opt out. The agreement also includes mechanisms for resolving billing disputes and service concerns.
What It Means for Fairfield Residents, Including Inwood Park
Residents in Inwood Park and other Fairfield neighborhoods will directly benefit from both initiatives. By helping fund the new Constable substation, local districts aim to keep deputies stationed closer to home, increasing patrol efficiency and responsiveness. Meanwhile, the Flock camera network provides a modern tool for tracking stolen vehicles and suspicious activity.
These collaborative moves signal a commitment among Fairfield-area leaders to enhance community security through both infrastructure and technology.

What’s Next
Cy-Hill MUD 1 will soon circulate an interlocal agreement to finalize funding for the Constable substation. Construction updates will be shared with all contributing entities. The Flock camera system, meanwhile, is expected to be installed and operational within the initial 24-month agreement term.
