Does the provision of services mean that the City will immediately begin extending water and sewer lines to every property?
The decision to extend water and sewer lines to the newly annexed areas will be made as the City assesses the need for such extension as part of its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a long-range plan which identifies the Citys capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule and identifies options for financing the plan. For new developments, for example, a new residential subdivision, roads, water, sewer, and drainage facilities are typically constructed by the developer of the property and then dedicated to the City for public use. Upon annexation, the City will make water and wastewater services available for point-of-use extension into the newly-annexed areas.
