Nichols, Inc. presents the water system design criteria, facilities, and cost allocations for the participating entities. Consultants for the proposed "Rívergate M.U.D." (or the San Marcos Municipal Utility District No.1), whích is proposed to be developed by Storm Development, Inc., provided extensive technical input into the initial engineering design and review of computations. The Rivergate tract covers approximately 1,345 acres along the west side of IH 35 withín the North San Marcos Service Area. Consulting engineers for Rivergate M.U.D. are Espey Huston and Associates. Consultants for the proposed "Highridge M.U.D." (or the Hays County M.U.D. No.2), which is proposed to be developed by McLester Grísham and Gardner Development Corp., also contríbuted extensívely to thís plan. The Highridge tract compríses approxímately 514 acres along the east síde of IH 35 and withín the Service Area. The consulting engineers for Highridge M.U.D. are J. W. French and Assocíates. It is anticipated that the City of San Marcos, Rivergate M.U.D. and Híghrídge M.U.D. will be the three partícípating entítíes ín the constructíon and financíng of the water uti1íty for the North San Marcos Service Area. Methodo I oQ.y-:' The methodolgy to develop this water service plan involved several steps, beginning with land use and populatíon projections for the Service Area and resulting in constructíon cost estimates for each of the participatíng entities. The first step was the designation of boundaries for the North San Marcos Service Area. The boundaríes were selected based on the objective of providing regíonal, centralized water and wastewater service north of the City's existing utility service area and withIn the ETJ of the CIty. Areas outside the City'S ETJ or drainage area of an unnamed tributary of the San Marcos River WhICh is located wIthin the Service Area were generally excluded from the Service Area. The only exceptIon was the inclusion of approximately 3.5 square miles of the 'ower Sink Creek Watershed which could readi Iy be served by the proposed wastewater system for the new Service Area.
