owner of record of the property at 25 Country Drive, Round Rock, Texas 78664 ("Property"),
being more particularly described in Exhibit "A" which is hereby incorporated for all purposes;
and
WHEREAS; the City has determined that it is desirable for the Property to receive
wastewater service from the City notwithstanding the fact that the Property is outside the City's
corporate limits, and
WHEREAS, the City does not have an existing Out -of -City Wastewater Service
Agreement with the Customer to provide wastewater to the Property, and
WHEREAS, the Customer and the City desire to enter into this Agreement to formalize
the terms by which the City will provide wastewater service to the Property, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Zoning and Development Code, Chapter 4, Article VI, Sec. 4-
80, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), City of Round Rock, Texas, the City Council hereby
determines that there is adequate capacity of wastewater treatment services available for the
purpose of servicing Customer without impairing services within the City, NOW, THEREFORE:
WITNESSETH:
That for and in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, and the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained to be kept and
performed by the respective Parties hereto, it is agreed as follows:
Article I. Customer's Obligations Under this Agreement
1.01 Customer shall be required to own and have installed by a plumber licensed by the
State of Texas, a standard wastewater service line which will connect to the City's wastewater
system located in Woodland Loop as shown in Exhibit "B" and as incorporated herein for all
purposes.
1.02 Customer shall grant the City the right of entry and access to Customer's private
wastewater line attached to the City's wastewater system at all times to inspect, to investigate
00437079ss2
the source of operational or maintenance problems, to prevent or detect, minimize, or avert
operational or maintenance problems, or for any other purpose reasonable related to the provision
of service under this Agreement. The Customer will cooperate with the City to provide access for
these purposes, provided that the City provides Customer at least one working day's written notice
or, in the event of an emergency, prior notice by telephone, confirmed facsimile, or electronic mail
of its need for access.
1.03 Customer shall comply with all requirements of the Zoning and Development Code,
Chapter 4, Article VI, Sec. 4-80, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), City of Round Rock, Texas,
regarding the furnishing of sewer services outside the city limits, a copy of such Sec. 4-80 being
attached hereto as Exhibit "C," incorporated herein by reference. Failure to comply with any of
these requirements shall give the City the option of terminating this Agreement.
1.04 In the event the City desires to annex the Customer's Property into the City limits
during the term of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to voluntarily annex the Property.
1.05 In the event the City desires to construct a wastewater line down Country Drive
during the term of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to provide to the City a ten (10) foot
casement along the east property line of Customer's Property.
Article I1. Provision of Wastewater Services
2.01 City agrees to sell Customer wastewater service as required by Customer for
domestic use on an as needed basis for one single-family residence located on the Property.
2.02 The wastewater service to be provided herein is for the Property as described in
Exhibit "A" and no other property.
2.03 Customer agrees to abide by all mandatory and voluntary use restrictions imposed
on the City on its own citizens.
Article I11. Rates and Fees
3.01 Customer agrees to pay City for all wastewater services provided to Customer at
the rate authorized by Chapter 44, Article II, Sec. 4-34, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), City
of Round Rock, Texas, as amended from time to time, applicable to customers located outside the
corporate limits of the City. Consistent with that provision, the volume charge shall be set at twice
the winter average as determined by the City Utility Billing Department for residential customers
located within the corporate limits of the City. Because the Property is not served with water from
the City, the wastewater accounts will be calculated based on the average for single-family
residential water usage.
3.02 The City shall render monthly bills to Customer for wastewater services. Payment
shall be made no later than the sixteenth (161h) day following the mailing of the bill. Failure by
Customer to make a payment when and as specified will give the City the option to terminate all
obligations of the City under this Agreement.
2
3.03 Customer shall be subject to the penalty provisions for late payment as now exist
in Chapter 44, Code of Ordinances (2018 Edition), City of Round Rock, Texas, and as may be
amended from time to time.
Article IV. Compliance with Ordinances
4.01 Customer agrees to comply with all of City's ordinances as they now exist or may
be amended from time to time regarding the sanitary use of the wastewater treatment system.
4.02 Customer agrees to take all necessary precautions to maintain the sanitary
conditions of the City's water supply system.
4.03 Customer agrees to pay a Wastewater Impact Fee in the amount of Two Thousand
Ninety -Nine and No/100 Dollars ($2,099.00), based on one living unit equivalent, and to pay all
other fees applicable to wastewater services.
4.04 Customer agrees and understands that the City's willingness to provide wastewater
service to the Property is expressly contingent on the Property continuing to be used for its
proposed uses, namely a public school. Customer shall not change or expand the existing uses
without the express written consent of the City, which may be withheld for any reason. Any change
or expansion of uses without the consent of the City will give the City the option of terminating
this Agreement.
4.05 Customer agrees that it will comply with all of the City's ordinances regarding
subdivision, zoning, development, and building permits.
Article V. Force Majeure
5.01 In the event either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to
carry out any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the obligations of that Party, to the
extent affected by the force majeure and to the extent that due diligence is being used to resume
performance at the earliest practicable time, shall be suspended during the continuance of the
inability. The cause, as far as possible, shall be remedied with all reasonable diligence. The term
"force majeure" includes acts of God, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of the
public enemy, orders of the government of the United States or the State of Texas or any civil or
military authority, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires,
hurricanes, storms, floods, washouts, droughts, arrests, restraints of government and people, civil
disturbances, explosions, breakage or accidents to equipment, pipelines, or canals, partial or entire
failure of water supply, and any other inabilities of either Party, whether similar to those
enumerated or otherwise, that are not within the control of the Party claiming the inability and that
could not have been avoided by the exercise of due diligence and care. It is understood and agreed
that the settlement of strikes and lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party having
the difficulty and that the requirement that any force majeure be acceding to the demands of the
opposing party if the settlement is unfavorable to it in the judgment of the Party having the
difficulty. Force majeure shall relieve City from liability to Customer for failure to provide water
service due to an inability covered by this article. Force majeure shall not relieve Customer of its
obligation to make payments to City as provided in this Agreement.
Article VI. Term
6.01 The term of this Agreement shall be for a term of twenty (20) years from the date
hereof.
6.02 This Agreement shall become null and void upon the annexation of the Property by
the City.
Article VII. Miscellaneous Provisions

to anyone else.

the Property as long as the intended use of the service and the Property remains the same or similar.

State of Texas, and any and all actions brought to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be
brought in Williamson County, Texas.
7.04 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns
where permitted by this Agreement.
7.05 In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof, and this Agreement shall be construed
as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
7.06 This Agreement constitutes the sole and only agreement of the parties hereto and
supersedes any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties respecting
the within subject matter.
7.07 The violation by Customer of any of City's ordinances related to the use or
disposition of wastewater, or to subdivision, zoning, development or building ordinances shall
render this Agreement voidable at the option of City.

(a) Conditions under which city services will be provided. The city shall furnish water, sewer and/or reuse
water services to residential and commercial users located outside the city limits only upon the
following conditions:
(1) Adequate capacity exists. There is adequate capacity of city services available for the purpose of
servicing residential and commercial users outside the city without impairing services within the
city. Whether such adequate capacity exists shall be determined solely by the city council, and
the determination of the city council shall be final.
(2) Owners outside city limits to bear costs of lines and furnish easements. The construction costs of
water, sewer and/or reuse water lines and appurtenances which serve residential and commercial
users outside the city limits shall be paid for by the owner, developer, or political entity requesting
the service. Such owner, developer, or political entity shall also furnish suitable construction and

(3) Construction to conform to city standards. All design and construction shall be in accordance with
city standards and specifications.
(4) New subdivisions to comply with subdivision regulations. New subdivisions recorded after the
date of passage of this section desiring city water, sewer and/or water reuse services shall comply
with the subdivision regulations of the City of Round Rock, Texas, in effect at the time such new
subdivision is approved. Existing subdivisions whose plats were recorded with the County Clerk
of Williamson County, Texas, at the time of the passage of the original Ord. No. 269 (January 8,
1976) can be furnished with water and sewer services without the necessity of having sanitary
sewer collection and treatment facilities.
(5) City to have right of review. The city shall have the right to review and approve all plats and plans
and inspect and approve all water, sewer and/or reuse water construction within subdivisions
where water, sewer, and/or reuse water service is to be provided.
(6) Water and sewer facility requirements. Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, all
residential and commercial users shall have sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities.
Water will not be provided to residential and commercial users who utilize septic tanks save and

be sized to serve the ultimate requirements of the city.
(8) Extended lines to be designed and inspected by city's engineer. All water, sewer, and/or reuse
water lines and appurtenances extending from existing city facilities to any tract of land outside
the city limits requesting water, sewer, and/or reuse water service shall be designed and
inspected by the city's engineer. The owner, developer, or political entity requesting the service
shall pay for these services in keeping with the current contract between the city and the engineer

a contract with the owner, developer, or entity constructing the lines for reimbursement for the
excess capacity as other users request and are granted service. The developer or entity
requesting service from an existing line shall pay a tap fee on a pro rata basis, as hereinafter set
forth. The reimbursement to the owner, developer, or entity who paid for the line construction

(b) Rates. The rates paid by residential and commercial users located outside the city limits for the use of
the water, sewer, and/or reuse water facilities of the city shall be in accordance with sections 44-32,
44-33, and 44-34 of the Code of Ordinances.
