context_page_description: East Aldine is a state management district in Harris County, Texas, United States, mostly in unincorporated areas with some territory in the City of Houston. The East Aldine Improvement District, also known as the Aldine Management District, governs the area. Portions of the district coincide with the boundaries of the Aldine census-designated place. One park owned by the City of Houston, Keith-Wiess Park, is within the district limits.
context_section_description: The East Aldine Management District, headquartered at 5333 Aldine Mail Route, generates revenue through a one-cent sales tax that is estimated to generate $5.5 million in annual revenue for 2015. The district is governed by a volunteer board of directors, consisting of nine members serving staggered four-year terms.
  Almost half of Aldine residents use private water wells and septic systems as their main source of water, while the remaining receive service from an estimated 10 municipal utility districts.
  After a study in 2004 revealed the financial need for water- and sewer-based improvements in the districts amounting to over $200 million, the district began neighborhood-focused improvements. 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.
  Areas within the Aldine CDP are served by Aldine Fire & Rescue, while The Westfield Volunteer Fire Department serves unincorporated areas outside of the Aldine CDP. Emergency medical services are provided by Harris County Emergency Services District #1, also known as HCESD-1.
