Service Plan Southwest San Marcos Annexation 4.

Current services include: . Twice-a-week curbside pickup in gO-gallon rolling carts . Once-a-week curbside recycling . Twice-a-month scheduled pickup of bulky items like brush, tree limbs, furniture, and appliances Residents of the annexed area may elect to continue using the services of a private solid waste hauler for a period of two years after the effective date of the annexation. Businesses and institutions must make arrangements with private solid waste haulers, in accordance with existing city policies. 5. Operation and Maintenance of Water and Wastewater Facilities a. Water Portions of the proposed annexation area are served by the Crystal Clear Water Supply Corporation. Existing customers of Crystal Clear will continue to be served by that company and will see no change in service or fees as a result of the annexation. Other portions of the proposed annexation area are currently served by the City of San Marcos. The City will continue to provide maintenance of these water lines. As new development occurs within the City's service area, the City will provide water service to the property in accordance with the city's development ordinances and utility extension policies in place at the time of development. Upon completion and dedication of the new facilities to the city, the city shall provide on-going maintenance and operation of those facilities. b. Wastewater Upon annexation, the City will provide maintenance of any existing public wastewater facilities. In addition, the City will provide an extension of the City's wastewater system to areas shown on the attached Map 2 within 2Vz years from the date of annexation. Remaining portions of the annexation area are not proposed for the extension of the City's wastewater system, on the basis that those portions of the annexation area differ significantly in land use and population density from existing residential areas within the City. State law does not require that a uniform level of full municipal services be provided to each area of the City if different characteristics of land use and population density constitute a sufficient basis for providing different levels of service.
