WASTEWATER SERVICE MASTER PLAN FOR THE NORTH SAN MARCOS AREA This wastewater master plan presents the major wastewater facillty improvements and cost estimates needed over the next twenty years for the North San Marcos Service Area. The service area, shown on the accompanying map, comprlses approxlmately 16,224 acres or 25 square miles, al1 within the extraterritorial jurisdiction or corporate l1mlts of the Clty of San Marcos. It extends from the southern limits of the Clty of Kyle extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) into the northern corporate limits of the City of San Marcos. Table 1 indicates the watersheds and acreages which would be servable within the North San Marcos Service Area. Planning and engineering consultants representing the City and various development interests collaborated with City staff over several months to develop a workable and economical plan for wastewater service, based on rea11stic market absorption and buHdout schedules. Most of the design and cost computations for this plan were performed by Espey Huston and Associates, consulting engineers. OveraH coordination of the plan was performed by the City's consulting planners, Kent S. Butler and Associates. The assumptions, design calculations and preliminary plans were reviewed by Black and Veatch, Inc., the City's consulting wastewater engineers. Espey Huston and Associates served as consultant for the proposed "Rivergate M.U.D.s" (or the San Marcos Municipal Utility District Nos. 1 and 2), which are proposed to be developed by Storm Development, Inc. The Rivergate tract covers approximately 1,345 acres along the west side of IH 35 and within the Servlce Area. The consultants for the proposed "Highridge M.U.D.s" (or the Hays County M.U.D. Nos. 2 and 3). which are proposed to be developed by Mclester Grisham and Gardner Development Corp., also contributed extensively to thlS plan. The Highridge tract comprises approximately 514 acres along the east side of IH 35 and within the Service Area. The consulting engineers for Highridge M.u.D.s are J. W. French and Associates. It is anUcipated that the City of San Marcos, Rlvergate M.U.D.s and Mtghrtdge M.U.D.s wi 11 be the partIcipatIng enUtltes in the construction and financing of the wastewater utllity for the North San Marcos Service Area.
