Resolution: Travis Vista Water and Sewer Supply fee waiver

Post by Don Zimmerman »

Council Colleagues:
FYI, I plan to introduce this with the background technical data to the new Public Utility Commission once we get our agenda started.
It affects the western edge of District 6 on Lake Travis.


Resolution No. ______________

WHEREAS, the Travis Vista Water and Sewer Supply Corporation (TV WSSC), 4811 Park Lane, Austin, Texas 78732, provides wastewater service to seventeen homes on Lake Travis; and

WHEREAS, the TV WSSC operates a small package wastewater treatment facility which discharges directly into Lake Travis and is the last direct domestic wastewater discharge of effluent on this body of water; and

WHEREAS, the TV WSSC customers now have an option to obtain centralized wastewater treatment service from Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 17 (WCID 17) and they desire to shift to this centralized service; and

WHEREAS, the costs to these seventeen customers to shift wastewater service is considerable, including WCID 17 impact fees of $4,100 and City of Austin impact fees of $1,400; in addition to construction costs, plumbing costs, and costs to decommission the TV WSSC plant; and

WHEREAS, WCID 17 has voted to waive its $4,100 per living unit impact fee for these customers to facilitate this transition to central sewer service; and

WHEREAS, the City of Austin recognizes the benefits both to the environment and water quality of removing the direct effluent discharge to Lake Travis, the source of the City’s drinking water; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN:

That the wastewater impact fee for the seventeen members of the Travis Vista Water and Sewer Supply Corporation, in the amount of $1,400 per living unit, will be waived.
