Nichols, Inc. presents the water system design criteria, facflities, and cost al1ocations for the participating entities. Consultants for the proposed "Rivergate M.U.D." (or the San Marcos Municipal Utility District No.1), which 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 within 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 MUD. No.2), which is proposed to be developed by McLester Grisham and Gardner Development Corp., also contributed extensively to this plan. The Highridge tract comprises approximately 5 t 4 acres along the east side of IH 35 and within the Service Area. The consulting engineers for Highridge M.U.D. are J. W. French and Associates. It is anticipated that the City of San Marcos, Rivergate M.U.D. and Highridge M.U.D. will be the three participating entities in the construction and financing of the water utility for the North San Marcos Service Area. ~~ The methodolgy to develop this water service plan involved several steps, beginning with land use and population projections for the Service Area and resulting in construction cost estimates for each of the participating entities. The first step was the designat ion of boundaries for the North San Marcos Service Area. The boundaries were selected based on the objective of providing regional, centralized water and wastewater service north of the City's existing utl1ity service area and within the ETJ of the City. Areas outside the City's' ET J 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 m11es of the lower Sink Creek Watershed which could readi ly be served by the proposed wastewater system for the new Service Area.
