The City of Garden Ridge is requesting the City of Schertz convey their sewer flows through the City of Schertz system to CCMA's system. CCMA, the sewer treatment for this area, does not have sewer lines to the City of Garden Ridge. Rather than the City of Garden Ridge or CCMA acquiring easements and constructing a separate sewer line, it is more cost effective and less impactful for Schertz property owners from whose land the easement might be needed, for the City of Schertz and the City of Garden Ridge to cooperate on proving service. Capacity will be available in the line and Garden Ridge will be compensating the City of Schertz as outlined in the Fiscal Impact section. The amount of capacity the City of Garden Ridge has capacity in the line is up to 750 LUEs.  

Partner with other communities to provide win-win solutions. 

Protects the City's financial stability, integrity and credibility. Develops and maintains water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure. 

Approval of Resolution 26-R-089 authorizing an interlocal agreement with the City of Garden Ridge for sewer capacity and wheeling charges.

In exchange for Schertz conveying sewer flow from the City of Garden Ridge to CCMA's line, the City of Garden Ridge has agreed to pay a fee equal to Thirty-Four cents ($0.34) per the estimated average daily gallons of flow for the prior calendar year. This charge is to offset Schertz' cost to operate and maintain the line. Additionally, the City of Garden Ridge will make payments in an amount equal to the Schertz Sewer Impact fee that would be charged if the development were subject to the City of Schertz Sewer Impact Fees, Article V Water and Wastewater Capital Recovery Fees in effect as of the effective date of this Agreement or as may be increased in the future as development ties onto the line. This is to cover the cost associated with the capacity in the Schertz' system that the City of Garden Ridge will be using.

Approval of Resolution 26-R-089.
