Leesburg council conditionally approves water and sewer extension for Goose Creek Club 2 outside town limits
Summary
Council voted to grant conditional approval for an extension of Leesburg water and sanitary sewer service to the Goose Creek Club 2, an out-of-town parcel. Council discussed capacity concerns and legal considerations; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Leesburg Town Council granted conditional approval to extend town water and sanitary sewer service to Goose Creek Club 2, a property located outside the town’s corporate limits.
Council Member Cummings moved to approve conditional water and sewer extensions for Goose Creek Club 2; Council Member Steinberg seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote. Council discussion touched on whether providing utilities outside the town limits is appropriate, the town’s capacity reporting and planning, and the legal framework for service to adjacent county properties. Town Attorney Mister Sparrow explained that capacity considerations are a typical ground for denial if capacity is constrained; otherwise capacity availability and the town’s policy priorities guide decisions.
A councilmember noted discomfort with extending service beyond town limits but voted in favor after staff explained capacity and oversight processes. The motion passed as recorded in the meeting transcript.
