Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The District prohibits the installation of private on-site wastewater holding or treatment facilities on land within the district that is within the boundaries of a District wastewater certificate of convenience and necessity that authorizes and obligates the District to provide service on tracts smaller than 1 acre. All new developments and subdivisions on land within the District’s wastewater certificated service area shall be required to connect to the District’s wastewater system when feasible and in the District’s discretion. The District shall pay the owner of a particular tract within the District’s wastewater certificated service area the costs of connecting the tract to the district’s wastewater collection system if the distance along a public right-of-way or utility easement from the nearest point of the district's wastewater collection system to the boundary line of the tract requiring wastewater collection services is 300 feet or more. Texas Water Code Section 49.234(b). All costs for connecting to the District’s wastewater system in excess of the standard costs required under Section G below must be paid for by the wastewater service Applicant, regardless of the District co-Applicant involvement. The District must review and approve all plans and specifications for any connection to the wastewater system prior to construction. [Texas Water Code § 65.201(a) and Texas Water Code § 49.277]. (C) Requirements for Standard and Non-Standard Service. (1) Standard Service, the Applicant shall file a proper and complete application packet and provide deed or proof of ownership as applicable. Non-Standard Service, the Applicant shall file a completed Feasibility Study Service Application and subsequent Non-Standard Service Agreement (NSSA) as applicable. (2) As a condition for service, the Applicant(s)/Assignee(s) for Standard service and/or Non Standard service shall complete and execute a Perpetual Easement and Right-of-Way, Sanitary Control Easement and/or such other easement form(s) required by the District to obtain a perpetual easement(s) to allow the District a right of access to construct, install, maintain, replace, upgrade, inspect or test any infrastructure and/or facility necessary to serve the Applicant’s/Assignee’s, as well as the District’s, purposes in providing system-wide service. The District shall request, but not require, the acquisition of a frontage easement from one property line to another except where necessary to provide immediate service to multiple connections. The District shall require an easement no greater than 100 square feet in connection with fixtures such as meters and hydrants to permit installation and maintenance of the same. If frontage easement extending from property boundary to property boundary is or becomes necessary to provide service to adjacent parcels or for system-wide service, the District may both request the grant of such an easement and invoke its power of eminent domain to acquire such an easement. This requirement may be delayed for non- standard service Applicants/Assignees. New meters shall be located within a utility easement at or near the boundary line (usually nearest a road) of the property designated for service. The most current District easement form must be completed and executed as a condition of service and must be granted by the new landowner as part of the application process or service may be denied. (3) At the request of a property owner or an owner’s authorized agent, the District shall install an individual Master Meter owned by the District in an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, multiple use facility, or condominium on which construction begins after June 23, 2015, unless the District determines that the installation of an individual Master Meter is not feasible.
