E., Director of Engineering & Infrastructure�'v( Matthew C. Newell, P. E., City Engineer,�/,��,� ��-� SUBJECT: Water Service Agreement District—South Taylor Road SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that City Council approve the attached ordinance authorizing the formation of a Water Service Agreement District for the South Taylor Road area, and authorize the City Manager and Director of Engineering and Infrastructure to sign water service ' agreements within said area. �I � BACKGROUND: On October 10, 2005, the City Council approved the installation of a new water main along South Taylor Road to provide water service into the Elwin area. This work is substantially completed and has created a significant interest by the residents, fronting the main, to obtain City water. When properties outside the City limits connect to City water, a Water Service Agreement must be entered into between the City and the property owners. These agreements are typically approved by the City Council and signed by the Mayar. When a large number of connections are anticipated, the City Council has authorized the formation of a Water Service Agreement District, allowing the connections within the defined area to be approved administratively by City staff. The number of Water Service Agreement Districts currently authorized by the City Council is 20. If approved, the proposed South Taylor Road Water Service Agreement District will be the 21S` District and will encompass properties fronting on South Taylor Road, north of County Highway 30, as shown on the attached drawing.
