ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN
AREA: CELEBRATION CHURCH
COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 1
DATE: OCTOBER 22, 2013
I. INTRODUCTION
This Service Plan (the Plan) is made by the City of Georgetown, Texas (City) pursuant to
Sections 43.056(b)-(o); 43.062, and 43.052(h)(1) of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC). This
Plan relates to the annexation into the City of the land shown on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” to
this Service Plan, which has sometimes been referred to as “Celebration Church.” The
provisions of this Plan were made available for public inspection and explained to the public at
the two public hearings held by the City on July 9, 2013, and July 23, 2013, in accordance with
Section 43.056(j) of the LGC.
NOTE: This annexation was initiated by the petition or request of the owners of land in the
annexed area. As stated in Section 43.056(e) of the Texas Local Government Code, the
requirement that construction of capital improvements must be substantially completed within
the period provided in this service plan does not apply to a development project or proposed
development project within an area annexed at the request or on the petition of the landowner.
The development of this property would require a rezoning and Utility Agreement at the time
of development. The rezoning and Utility Agreement shall control the schedule of the provision
of municipal services for the areas. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Service
Plan and Utility Agreement, the Utility Agreement shall control.
II. TERM OF SERVICE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 43.056(l) of the LGC, this Plan shall be in effect for a ten-year period
commencing on the effective date of the ordinance approving the annexation. Renewal of the
Plan shall be at the discretion of the City Council and must be accomplished by Ordinance.
III. INTENT
It is the intent of the City that municipal services under this Plan shall provide municipal
services in accordance with the timetables required by the LGC. The City reserves the rights
guaranteed to it by the LGC to amend this Plan if the City Council determines that changed
conditions, subsequent occurrences, or any other legally sufficient circumstances exist under the
LGC or other Texas laws that make this Plan unworkable, obsolete, or unlawful.
IV. CATEGORIZATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 2 of 13
The municipal services described herein are categorized by those services which are (1)
available to the annexed area immediately upon annexation; (2) those services which will be
available to the annexed area within 2½ years from the effective date of the annexation; and (3)
those services for which capital improvements are needed and which will be available within
4½ years from the effective date of the annexation based upon a schedule for construction of
such improvements as set forth herein.
For the purposes of this Plan, “provision of services” includes having services provided by any
method or means by which the City provides municipal services to any other areas of the City,
and may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental entities and other public
service organizations to provide such services by contract, in whole or in part, and may include
duties on the part of a private landowner with regard to such services.
In addition, in accordance with Section 43.056(g) of the LGC, if before annexation the annexed
area had a lower level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance than the same
being provided by the City to other areas within the City limits, this Plan shall be construed to
allow for the provision to the annexed area of a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance in other parts of the City with topography, land use, and population
density similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the annexed area.

2. Water and Wastewater Services– Water and wastewater services are only provided to
occupied lots that have been legally subdivided and platted or are otherwise a legal lot,
and that are located within the boundaries of the City’s authorized service areas.
Further, existing residences in the annexed area that were served by a functioning onsite
sewer system (septic system) shall continue to use such private system for wastewater
services in conformance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of the City Code of
Ordinances. Existing non-residential establishments in the annexed area may continue

Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 5 of 13
utility. For annexed areas located within the City’s authorized service areas, the City
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, extend water and wastewater
service in accordance with the service extension ordinances, policies, and standards that
are summarized in Section X of this Plan, which may require that the property owner or
developer of a newly developed tract install water and wastewater lines. The extension
of water and wastewater services will be provided in accordance with any applicable
construction and design standards manuals adopted by the City.
3. Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Schedule – Because of the time required
to design and construct the necessary water and wastewater facilities to serve the
annexed area, certain services cannot be reasonably provided within 2½ years of the
effective date of annexation. Therefore, in accordance with Sections 43.065(b) and (e) of
the LGC, the City shall implement a program, which will be initiated after the effective
date of the annexation and include the acquisition or construction of capital
improvements necessary for providing water and wastewater services to the area. The
following schedule for improvements is proposed: construction will commence within 2
½ years from the effective date of annexation and will be substantially complete within 4
½ years from the effective date of annexation. However, the provisions of Section VII of
this Plan shall apply to the schedule for completion of all capital improvements. In
addition, the acquisition or construction of the improvements shall be accomplished by
purchase, lease, or other contract or by the City succeeding to the powers, duties, assets,
and obligations of a conservation and reclamation district as authorized or required by
law.
4. Roads and Streets – No road or street related capital improvements are necessary at this
time. Future extension of roads or streets and installation of traffic control devices will
be governed by the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City’s Overall Transportation Plan,
the City’s Capital Improvements Plan; the City’s regular or non-impact fee Capital
Improvements Program, and any applicable City ordinances, policies, and procedures,
which may require that the property owner or developer install roads and streets at the
property owner’s or developer’s expense. It is anticipated that the developer of new
subdivisions in the area will install street lighting in accordance with the City’s standard
policies and procedures. Provision of street lighting will be in accordance with the
City’s street lighting policies.
5. Capital Improvements for Other Municipal Services – No capital improvements are
necessary at this time to provide municipal Police; Fire Protection; Emergency Medical
Services; Solid Waste Collection; Public Parks, Playgrounds, or Swimming Pools; Public
Buildings or Facilities; or Library Services. The annexed area will be included in the
City’s future planning for new or expanded capital improvements and evaluated on the
same basis and in accordance with the same standards as similarly situated areas of the
City.

Plan is a contractual obligation that is not subject to amendment or repeal except as provided by
state law. Section 43.056(k) of the LGC provides that if the City Council determines, after public
hearings, that changed conditions or subsequent occurrences make the Plan unworkable or
obsolete, the City Council may amend the Plan to conform to the changed conditions or
subsequent occurrences. An amended Plan must provide for services that are comparable to or
better than those established in the Plan before amendment. Before any Plan amendments are
adopted, the City Council must provide an opportunity for interested persons to be heard at

X. SUMMARY OF CURRENT WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE EXTENSION POLICIES
Per the requirements of Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, the following summary is provided
regarding the City’s current service extension policies for water and wastewater service.
However, this is a summary of the current policies, and the policies and regulations related to
water and wastewater utility extensions that are included in the City Code of Ordinances, the
Unified Development Code, the City’s Construction and Specifications Manual; Drainage
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 7 of 13
Manual, and other published policies and technical manuals, as the same may be amended from
time to time, shall control the extension of water and wastewater services to the annexed area.
In addition, these policies and ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the
future:
1. In General -- The provisions of Chapter 13 of the City’s Unified Development Code
(“UDC”) shall apply in the annexed area and Chapter 13 of the City Code of Ordinances.
Portions of the current Chapter 13 of the UDC and the current Chapter 13 of the Code of
Ordinances are summarized below. Note that these provisions are established by
ordinance of the City Council and are subject to change from time to time.
A. The City shall not repair, maintain, install or provide any water services, wastewater
service, gas, electricity or any other public utilities or services to any property that
has not been legally subdivided or is a non-legal lot.
B. For property that is required by the City’s UDC or other City regulations to construct
water or wastewater facilities, funding and construction of those facilities are the
responsibility of the property owner or developer (the “subdivider”).
C. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public water supply
system for fire protection and domestic/ commercial/ industrial usage consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. Where an approved public water supply or
distribution main is within reasonable distance of the subdivision, but in no case less
than one-quarter mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and
permissible (including adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to
bear the cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing water supply. The
subdivider shall, consistent with all existing ordinances, make a pro-rata
contribution to funding of needed storage facilities, treatment facilities, and specific
distribution lines as determined necessary by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public sanitary sewer
system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, throughout the entire subdivision
such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of land will be capable of connecting to the
sanitary sewer system except as otherwise provided herein. Where an approved
public sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is in no case less than one-half
mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of
connecting the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system. Where an
approved public wastewater collection main or outfall line is more than one-half
mile away from the property boundary, and where extension of a sanitary sewer
collection main or outfall line is scheduled in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan
to be completed to a point within one-half mile of the property boundary within five
(5) years from the date of the Preliminary Plat approval, the subdivider shall be
required to install a public wastewater collection system. The design and
construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with regulations
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 8 of 13
covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and installed in
accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet the
minimum requirements established by the UDC, the City's Construction Standards
and Specifications for Roads, Streets, Structures and Utilities, and any other adopted
City design or technical criteria. No main water line extension shall be less than
eight inches. All new public sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and
constructed to conform with the City’s Construction Standards and Specifications
and to operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of natural topographic
conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations and force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater facilities
and capacity fronting the property – the owner may make an application for an
extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City Manager for Utilities
determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater capacity is available, or will be
available, and if the project does not include City cost participation or reimbursement, if
the proposed facilities are depicted on the City’s Water and Wastewater Master Plans,
and the requested service otherwise meets the City’s requirements, the extension size,
capacity, and routing may be approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for
construction by the developer at the developer’s cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property – the owner may receive water or
wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit and paying the required
fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system – the property owner
remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic system. If the
property is in a Rural Residential Subdivision as defined in Chapter 13 of the UDC, or is
a legal lot greater than one acre in size and used for single family residential purposes,
the property shall continue the use of a septic system after annexation until such time
that the use of the property changes, the property is further subdivided or developed, or
a public sanitary sewer line has been extended to within 200 feet of the property
boundary and the property owner has received notification from the City of the City’s
desire for the property to be connected to the public sanitary sewer line. If the septic
system fails before the City’s centralized wastewater service is extended to within 200
feet of the property and the City determines that the provision of centralized wastewater
service is not feasible or practical at that time, then the property owner must either
repair or replace the septic system in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of
the City Code of Ordinances. Properties using a septic system that are not in a Rural
Residential Subdivision , or are not legal lots greater than one acre in size and used for
single family residential purposes at the time of annexation, but that are designated as
either residential, open space or agricultural on the City’s Future Land Use Plan shall
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 9 of 13
continue the use of a septic system until such time that the use of the property changes,
the property is further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has been
extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property owner has
received notification from the City of the City’s desire for the property to be connected
to the public sanitary sewer line.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City – Pursuant to Section 13.09.030 of
the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council approval, may participate
with a property owner or developer in the cost of oversized facilities or line extensions.
The actual calculation of the cost participation and reimbursement amounts, including
limits and schedules for the payments, are set forth in the UDC.
6. City Code of Ordinances: (The following provisions are set by the City Council and can
be amended in the future by ordinance.)
Chapter 13.10 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Section 13.10.010 Policy established.
This policy shall apply to improvements to the City's utility systems, including system upgrades,
system expansion, and plant capacity additions. In this Section, the term “utility system” shall
mean the City’s water system, wastewater system, reuse irrigation system, and stormwater
drainage system.
Section 13.10.020 System Planning.
The City shall maintain and periodically update system plans for each utility so that system
improvements are implemented to maintain adequate capacity for growth while maintaining
proper service levels to existing customers.
Section 13.10.030 Project Timing.
A. Projects designed to expand or upgrade a utility system must be completed and ready
for operations such that capacity requirements by state regulatory agencies and City
system plans are met.
B. When possible, the City should coordinate the construction of system improvements
in a particular location with the expansion or maintenance of other utility
infrastructure to minimize the future impact on each utility.
C. Projects should begin the design phase when existing demand at a specific location
exceeds 75% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the current
total capacity.
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 10 of 13
D. Projects should begin the construction phase when existing demand at a specific
location exceeds 90% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the
current total capacity.
E. Projects required to facilitate the development of a specific tract shall be done in
accordance with the Unified Development Code.
F. Projects required as a result of an annexation service plan shall be provided as stated
in the approved Service Plan for such annexed tracts.
Section 13.10.040 Project Financing.
A. Projects required to facilitate the subdivision of a specific tract shall be paid by the
subdivider in accordance with the Unified Development Code, unless otherwise
authorized in writing and approved by the City Council in accordance with the terms
of Section 13.09 of the Unified Development Code or other applicable law.
B. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
but the City is not otherwise required to provide service or planning to provide
service as reflected in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan, the City may
nonetheless, at the City’s sole option, facilitate the design and construction of the
required utility extensions or upgrades by managing the project with the cost of such
extensions to be shared and fully paid by the requesting landowners or subdividers
prior to commencement of the project.
C. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
the City shall evaluate degree to which the project 1) facilitates contiguous growth, 2)
maximizes the provision of service to the service area, 3) enhances economic
development, 4) improves system operations, 5) contributes to conservation or other
environmental concern, and 6) facilitates the completion of the utility master plan.
D. At the City’s sole option, the City may also facilitate the installation of utility
expansion requests through 1) financial cost contribution, 2) financing of the
improvement using individual contracts between the City and each landowner for a
proportionate share of the project cost to be paid out over a specified period of time at
a specified rate of interest, 3) Impact Fee or connection fee reduction or waiver.
Chapter 13.20 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Sec. 13.20.010. General.
A. It is unlawful for any owner or lessee, tenant or other person in possession of any
premises where any person lives or works, or occupies the same, to establish,
maintain or use any water closet, bathtub, lavatory or sink except by one of the
following means and consistent with the other terms, conditions and requirements of
this Chapter and with the City’s Unified Development Code:
