Executive Summary |
||||
|
The Water Master Plan (WMP) is a guide for orderly and timely development of water facilities for the City and its ETJ. Last year the City retained the services of Claunch & Miller, Inc. to update the City’s WMP which was last updated in 2000. The 2007 WMP update includes water demand projections for the City and its ETJ, water system hydraulic model upgrading, system flow and pressure assessments, storage requirement assessment, and 5-year, 10-year and ultimate Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Unlike previous WMPs which were based on a solely groundwater system, this 2007 WMP Update includes our draft Groundwater Reduction Plan (GRP) that is needed to be compliant with the Fort Bend Subsidence District (FBSD) mandated reduction in groundwater withdrawals. Staff will present the findings of the WMP and receive Council feedback to continue the approval process. With Council’s feedback and concurrence, the proposed plan for approval includes presenting the Update to the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 25, 2007 for workshop, after which the proposed plan for approval includes presenting to P&Z for a Public Hearing and approval on November 13, 2007. Following approval by P&Z, the WMP update will come before Council for a Public Hearing and a First Read on November 20, 2007, and a Second Read on December 4, 2007. The GRP will then be submitted to the Subsidence District in December. Staff requests that Council review and provide comments to the proposed Water Master Plan Update. |
