City of Seguin completes major water service expansion north of I-10
WEEKEND EDITION
TODAY

(Seguin) -- The City of Seguin has officially completed its takeover of a large water service territory previously served by Springs Hill Water. City Manager Steve Parker says the expansion brings city water service to customers north of Interstate 10, an area experiencing rapid growth. Parker says the city moved forward with the takeover after concerns that Springs Hill Water lacked the capacity to meet future demand in the area. “We took over almost 9,500 acres of Springs Hill territory a couple years ago in an agreement, because water resources were very tight and we’ve had significant growth. We knew it was a big endeavor to take out that amount of area and transfer that total area. We didn’t want donut holes, right? So, really everything north of I-10 between highways 46 and 123 up
to Link Road was going to come into the city of Seguin utilities. There’s a lot of advantages to that when you think about it from an economies of scale point. That’ll have longlasting benefits to our community, because now we’ll be able to double our customer base, (and) actually be able to share the cost of the utility. The average cost of water should be able to be really monitored and hopefully minimize any rate increases in the future. It will not eliminate rate increases, but it will have an ability to do that,” said Parker. Parker says the expansion benefits not only new City of Seguin water customers, but existing customers as well. The project was completed last week, marking the end of a lengthy and complex process.

The former Seguin Activity Center, later home to the Boys and Girls Club on Zorn Street, has sat vacant for several years but is now set for renovation after the City of Seguin secured $2.3 million in federal funding to restore the facility for future youth programs. See story on page 2.
