Guadalupe County Municipal Utility District No. 16 voters will decide Nov. 3 whether to authorize up to $452,915,000 in water, wastewater and drainage system bonds and up to $132,275,000 in road bonds.
Those amounts are ceilings in the district's election order, not bonds already issued. The County Clerk's October notices include the MUD No. 16 order; its separate posted copy identifies the district and ballot measures.
From the source record
Each figure is a proposed authorization ceiling, not debt already issued. Refunding authority is shown separately from authority for system and road bonds.
If voters authorize the bonds and the district later issues them, debt service would be paid through property taxes on taxable property in the district. Authorization would give the district borrowing power up to the approved limits; it would not establish how much debt the district will issue or the eventual tax rate. This is the MUD No. 16 election, distinct from the separate MUD No. 17 ballot.
What the ballot would authorize
The order lists district confirmation as Measure A. Measure B asks for operation-and-maintenance tax authority capped at $1.20 per $100 of taxable property value. That ceiling is not an enacted rate or a statement of what a particular property owner would pay. The order cites Texas Water Code Section 49.107(b) in explaining why voter approval is sought before such a tax is levied.
