SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Utility Service Contract between the City of Houston and Woodcreek Municipal Utility District.
RECOMMENDATION: The First Amendment to the Utility Service Contract between the City of Houston and Woodcreek Municipal Utility District be approved.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The City of Houston (the “City”) and Woodcreek Municipal Utility District (the “District”) entered into a Utility Service Contract (the “Original Agreement”) on July 14, 1982, authorizing the District to provide water and sewer service to 27.4360 acres of land, located within the boundaries of the City, due to the City not having water or wastewater service lines in the vicinity.
The District now requests this First Amendment to provide water and sewer service to an additional 12.7176 acre tract of land located within the boundaries of the City. The City does not currently have water or sewer service lines to provide service to this tract. The conditions of the Original Agreement include that the District will only provide service to property within the tract that is covered by a plan, plat, or replat approved by the City, that it will comply with all applicable ordinances of the City, and that it will construct all facilities necessary to provide services and obtain the City’s approval of the plans and specifications of the facilities prior to construction. Finally, the City may withdraw its consent under the contract provisions and initiate the provision of City water service or sewer service or both to the tract. The Original Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Houston Public Works recommends the First Amendment be approved.
