Important Water use Information

Harris County MUD 43 is now in Stage 1 of our

"Drought Contingency Plan"

 Our beautiful community lies near the middle of the triangle formed by Treaschwig on the south, Aldine Westfield Rd. on the west and Cypresswood Dr. on the north and east. It is bisected by Birnam Wood blvd which runs from Treaschwig one point three  (1.3) miles north to the club house and recreational area. When completed we will have 1496 homes, mostly owner occupied, on 450 acres with greater than 10 acres devoted to amenities for the Owners and their guests.

The name Birnam Wood has a Shakespearean connection in Macbeth, Check the link. In addition a lot of the street names are characters from his plays.

 US Home built Fairfax and Birnam Wood I & II back in the early 70's. In 1976 they started a entire new subdivision called Birnam Wood III C.A.I. They incorporated in 1977 and started building on the West side of Birnam Wood Blvd. Section 3 was completed in the late 70's and section IV was annexed into BWIII. Section IV was completed around 1981 or so and section V was started. US Home tried to annex section V but a number of homeowners wanted control of the Board and wanted US home to pay the past due assessments. They had us with a management company and we were almost bankrupt. A group sued US home and won. They had to pay their past due, sell the 5+ acres next to the parking lot for a small sum. This area was suppose to be more houses. US Home lost control of the Board of Directors and owners were elected and Birnam Wood III annexed section V. Section V paid a higher rate and the money had to be applied to a capital improvement. That's were the clubhouse came from. Section V was about 3/4 built out in the 80's when the price of oildropped and people lost their jobs. Foreclosures were every where. 149 lots were still not built on (that would be the area over by Cypresswood Dr.). US Home filed bankruptcy and the properties were not built on until the early 90's. Fast forward to the very early 2000's and Birnam Wood annexed VOSO. We annexed VOSO for a walking trail, a pavillion, one lump payment of $80,000 to go for another pool (which was about $240,000.00). Also 2 $30,000 payment as section 3 & 4 of Villages were built. This will be the last of the developments added to our HOA because of facilities restrictions, primarily sewer capacity.

We are building a Map of the sub-division but it is not finished yet but here it is.
