Inclusions

Show All Answers

1. What does inclusion mean?

The Water District is organized as a municipal government. All governments have jurisdiction over a geographic boundary. The issue of taxation, rates, regulations and representation are all affected. If your property is not included in the boundary then future water service may be more expensive. A future request for expanded service or service to the property at change in ownership is optional for the District.

2. How does inclusion benefit me?

The availability of water and sewer service adds substantial value to your property. As a property owner you want to protect and insure that availability. As a consumer of water and sewer services you want to pay the lowest rates possible. As an included property owner you get to vote in District elections.

3. How long does the process take?

Once your paper work was been submitted in may take up to ninety (90) days to complete the process.

4. Why was my property not included before?

Various reasons:
• As the District grew, some properties received service without the formality of inclusion.
• An owner may have filled out the paperwork but for some reason the paperwork did not get to the County.
• Property was partially included and over time service was provided to that portion of the property that had not been included.
• Property was in the City and it was mistakenly presumed to be in the District.

5. What happens if I do not include?

Your water rates may be higher than those customers who are included and if you sell your property the new owner or occupant might not qualify for continued service.

6. Who needs to sign the paperwork?

All persons shown as owners on the Deed.
