Hutto water customers to see rate increase The city of Hutto will issue $349 million in debt toward water and wastewater projects after City Council approved a measure March 21, resulting in an estimated increase of $20 on Hutto water and wastewater customers’ monthly bills. Two-minute impact Council members previously approved a list of top-priority capital improvement projects. These projects are intended to increase water capacity due to Hutto’s rapid growth in recent years, according to city staff. The funding will come from a city-issued certificate of obligation, or CO, bond. These CO bonds are typically backed by taxes or impact fee revenues, and they do not require voter approval. This means the city will tack on an additional $10 to both the water and wastewater base fees in June to pay on the debt of the bonds.
New members join semiconductor board Gov. Greg Abbott announced appoint- ments to the Texas Semiconductor Inno- vation Consortium’s Executive Committee on March 19. UT Dallas President Emeritus David Daniel will lead the committee as chair, according to the news release. Why it matters The announcement comes after Abbott signed the Texas CHIPS Act into law in June. The act established the TSIC and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund, Abbott said. The law allocated $1.4 billion that local municipalities and workforce development organizations in Williamson County could take advantage of to go to semiconductor research, development, manufacturing and workforce development.
