How we got here
During a June 19 public hearing, Fair Oaks Ranch resident RW Simpson opposed the annexation of the development due to concerns about providing water to the planned homes. “Proceeding with a large-scale development during this critical time is not only irresponsible but dangerous for the long-term sustainability of our community and natural resources,” Simpson said. According to the city water and wastewater plans, projections were to add the 645 homes to the city water system. Under the reduced devel- opment plan, the city will provide water to fewer homes than originally forecasted, leading to a reduction in anticipated water use. With the reduction, city staff and leaders feel confident that the city is positioned to provide adequate water services to the area. The first elevated water storage facility is also underway, allowing additional water resources from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority upon completion.

Fair Oaks Ranch will not be responsible for pro- viding wastewater services to the development, instead being served through septic systems. Aside from water concerns, Rene Gallegos, president of the Fair Oaks Ranch Homeowners Association, encouraged a partnership between the developer and the HOA to ensure the safety of residents.
