Council removes ETJ water-line item after residents indicate they will drill private wells
Summary
Council removed an agenda item on the future of a water line under FM 2780 after staff reported both affected private-water-line customers plan to drill private wells; the council voted to remove the item from the agenda.
Council considered the future of an ETJ water line under FM 2780 during the July 8 meeting and moved to remove the agenda item after city staff reported that both private-water-line customers affected intend to drill private wells on their properties.
Councilmember Paul McLaughlin moved to remove the item; Councilmember Jeff Eckhardt seconded. The minutes record FOR votes from Councilmembers Tommie Gilmon, Nathan Kalkhake and Macey Tidwell and no recorded opposition. The minutes do not record formal remediation steps beyond removing the item from the agenda.
City staff advised that both affected customers plan private wells, which the minutes list as the operational basis for removing the item. Council did not adopt any ordinance or make a directive as part of that action.
