Court approves Rincon Water Supply utility permits for waterline upsizing to serve Lennar Sinton Ranch
Summary
Rincon Water Supply Corporation presented sealed engineering plans to upsize and extend multiple waterlines to serve existing customers and the Lennar Sinton Ranch subdivision; the court approved the permits after the Rincon representative said work would be bored and largely within private easements.
County Engineer John Hernandez presented sealed engineering drawings from Rincon Water Supply Corporation proposing multiple waterline upsizes and extensions in Precinct 3 and other locations to ensure water service reliability for existing customers and to provide off‑site improvements for the Lennar Sinton Ranch subdivision.
Rincon representative Art Smith told commissioners the work is intended primarily to upsize existing lines and will be conducted by boring rather than cutting county roads; he said most work will occur within private easements and that the capacity increases are intended to accommodate the Lennar development while maintaining service for current customers.
Commissioners asked whether hydrants were included (none in the presented section) and clarified the project scope. The court moved to approve the utility permits; the motion carried.
The permits covered a 12‑inch waterline extension on several county roads and a separate 18‑inch extension for a high‑service pump station; Rincon said the work will allow the utility to serve the new subdivision as engineered.
