Michael D. Thane, Director of Utilities
The City last updated the water and wastewater impact fees in January 2005. At that time, the
City made a commitment to review the existing impact fees that new customers are charged for
tying into the water and wastewater systems every 3 years. To update the impact fees, it
requires the City to review and update the existing land use plan, annexation plan, and the
water and wastewater system capital improvement/master plans. Since the latest plan
updates, there are several projects that will be required that will have a direct influence on the
new impact fees. On the water system, the City has finalized plans for Lake Travis to be the
next source of water. On the wastewater system, a wastewater treatment plant expansion will
be required in the future. In addition, the annexation plan for the northeast part of Round
Rock has been updated which will require necessary improvements to both the water and
wastewater systems in the upcoming years. These improvements, as well as other smaller
projects, have been included in our Updated Water and Wastewater System Master Plans and
in the new impact fee calculation.
