Seguin's proposed Town Center water deal puts the offsite line on the city and internal water pipes on Guadalupe County MUD No. 3. So how much of the system would Seguin inherit?
The proposal is before the City Council as item 26-491 on Nov. 3. Staff describes a development of more than 539 acres with projected ultimate water demand of 862,272 gallons a day, or about 2,028 living-unit equivalents. Those are planning figures, not an approved construction bill or a household charge.
Site plan from the record
Which pipes would each side take on?
Here is how the draft divides the work. Section 2.01 puts phased internal water construction on the district. Section 2.02 puts design and construction of the offsite line, along with needed rights-of-way, on Seguin at its sole cost. Sections 3.01 and 3.02 then have the district convey accepted internal facilities to the city, which would operate and maintain them at its own expense.
| Part of system | Builds or pays | After construction |
|---|---|---|
| Internal water facilities | District builds in phases (§2.01) | Accepted works go to Seguin for operation and maintenance (§§3.01–3.02) |
| Offsite water line | Seguin designs and builds at its sole cost (§2.02) | City water system responsibility under the draft |
| Later supply expansion | Seguin funds needs beyond the district's impact-fee contribution (§2.02) | Additional city supply capacity |
| Retail service and meters | Seguin installs meters (§3.03) | Seguin serves customers and receives retail revenue (§3.03) |
These are proposed duties, not completed construction or an adopted cost estimate.
