Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Amended and Restated Agreement for Pass-Through Water and Wastewater Service with Vista Oaks Municipal Utility District and Williamson County.
Body
The City of Round Rock, Williamson County, and Vista Oaks Municipal Utility District (MUD) currently have an agreement for pass-through water and wastewater service. Vista Oaks MUD receives wholesale water and wastewater service from the City; however, the City uses the MUDs water and wastewater systems on a pass-through basis in order to serve the Williamson County Southwest Regional Park. The parties would now like to Amend and Restate the Agreement for Pass-through Water and Wastewater Service.
Due to a development of 28.26 acre tract of land (known as the Palmer Tract) located on the northwest corner of the City of Round Rock's ETJ, the City has acquired ownership of a segment of the wastewater line constructed to serve the Williamson County Southwest Regional Park and an 8-inch waterline that extends along CR175 from the County in order for the City to be able to serve this development. All parties intend that the newly acquired City wastewater line segment and the City water line segment continue to be used to provide retail service to the Park and desire to enter into this agreement in which the City and County may utilize the MUDs systems to provide water and wastewater service to the Park on a pass-through basis. The agreement states that the City or County will not take more than 250,000 gallons per day, averaged over any consecutive 30-day period, of water from the MUDs water distribution system measured at the existing water meter for the County or more than 52 living unit equivalents of wastewater from the Park measured at the wastewater point of connection.
The County has also advised the MUD that the County intends to construct the first two lanes of Arterial H, which would connect the Mayfield Ranch subdivision to CR175. A portion of the Arterial H will be located immediately adjacent to the MUD. In order to mitigate potential adverse effects that Arterial H and its traffic will have on residents of the MUD, which are also residents of the County, the MUD is planning to upgrade the subdivision fencing that extends along Arterial H adjacent to the northwestern boundary of the MUD. The County has agreed to pay 50% for the cost of the fence. The MUD will be granted an easement along Arterial H in order to construct and maintain the fence.
This Amended and Restated Agreement for Pass-Through Water and Wastewater Service must be approved by Williamson County, Vista Oaks MUD, and the City of Round Rock.
