distribution main is within reasonable distance of the subdivision, but in no case
less than one-half mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and
permissible, the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of connecting the
subdivision to such existing water supply. The subdivider shall, consistent with
all existing ordinances, make a pro -rata contribution to funding of needed
storage facilities, treatment facilities, and specific distribution lines as determined
necessary by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public sanitary
sewer system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, throughout the entire
subdivision such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of land will be capable of
connecting to the sanitary sewer system except as otherwise provided herein.
Where an approved public sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is in no
case less than one-half mile away, and connection to the system is both possible
and permissible, the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of connecting
the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system. No connection shall be
required for subdivisions located more than '/s -mile from a main or outfall line.
The design and construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with
regulations covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and installed in
accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet
the minimum requirements established by the UDC, the City's Construction

other adopted City design or technical criteria. No main water line extension
shall be less than eight inches. All new public sanitary sewer systems shall be
designed and constructed to conform with the City's Construction Standards and
Specifications and to operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of
natural topographic conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations
and force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater facilities
and capacity fronting the property - the owner may make an application for an
extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City Manager for Utilities
determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater capacity is available, or will be
available, and if the project does not include City cost participation or reimbursement, if
the proposed facilities are depicted on the City's Water and Wastewater Master Plans,
and the requested service otherwise meets the City's requirements, the extension size,
capacity, and routing may be approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for
construction by the developer at the developer's cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property - the owner may receive water or
wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit and paying the required
fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system - the property owner
remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic system. If the septic
system fails before City wastewater service is extended to the property, then the
property owner must either repair the septic system or pay to connect to the City service
as it may then exist.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City - Pursuant to Section 13.09.030 of
the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council approval, may participate
with a property owner or developer in the cost of oversized facilities or line extensions.
The actual calculation of the cost participation and reimbursement amounts, including
limits and schedules for the payments, are set forth in the UDC. :
6. Section 13.10.010 of the City Code of Ordinances provides as follows:
City Code Sec. 13.10.010. Policy established.
This policy shall apply to improvements to the City's utility systems, which
encompass both existing system upgrades and system expansion for treatment
plant capacity, utility line networks and appurtenances. It is established as the
official policy of the City that all utility system improvements shall be planned,
designed, constructed, operated and maintained such that:

Area 13C
A. Upgrades of existing infrastructure and system extensions in close
proximity to existing utility networks shall be preferred to excessive line
extensions and expansion of the system outside the established and approved
utility service area.
B. Priority shall be assigned to projects which provide the greatest benefit as
measured by the size in acres of the land to be served and the level of capacity to
be provided.
C. System improvements which promote the retention and/or creation of
long-term jobs shall receive greater emphasis over projects which produce only
temporary or no lasting employment results.
D. Improvement programs which support and complement the City's
adopted economic and industrial development objectives shall receive
preference.
E. Projects which increase property values and retail sales are preferred.
F. Project capacity should be able to accommodate projected demand for a
ten-year period.
G. Improvements that will achieve shorter build -out times and will initially
satisfy higher levels of projected ultimate demand capacity are favored.
H. Infrastructure programs designed to simplify construction, operation and
maintenance are preferred.
I. There exists the potential for the City to recapture 100 percent of all
nonreimbursed City expenditures.
J. Participation by owners of benefiting property is strongly encouraged.
K. Incentive for up -front participation:
1. Enter into contract;
2. Guarantee capacity availability for ten years:
a. Interest free for first three vears,
b. Interest at T -Bill rate for remaining seven years,
3. If option not exercised in ten-year period, guarantee for capacity
expires,

4. Option assignable if all/part of property sold during life of
agreement,
S. Prepayment applied to 100 percent of cost of first units used.
L. Terms for obtaining capacity:
1. At time of connection, full payment for units of capacity requested
computed on design capacity plus carrying costs calculated from date of
award of contract for construction of initial project. (This is for
nonguaranteed capacity and assumes capacity is available.)
At time capacity is desired may obtain guaranteed capacity by paying in
the same manner as for a connection but must provide City with one-year
notice of intent to connect to system.
2. All payments based upon units of capacity;
3. All necessary easements are donated and only facilitate the ability
to connect to system but do not convey any right or privilege to hook on
to system (water system will provide fire protection and lower fire
insurance rates.)
M. Water line improvements shall be designed and constructed to satisfy
domestic/industrial demands and fire flow requirements as forecast in the City's
Comprehensive Plan,
N. Svstem improvements will begin when existing line demand equals 70
percent of design capacity or committed capacity plus existing demand equals 90
percent of design capacity.
O. All design and implementation of utility improvements shall be in
accordance with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
This policy is set by the City Council and can be amended in the future by ordinance.
