- Three copies of a letter requesting inclusion into the district. The letter should contain information on future development plans (if any) and anticipated future water and sewer demands.
- Upon review and approval of the above referenced submittals, the district will prepare a Petition for Inclusion for signature by the property owner(s).
- Upon receipt of the signed Petition for Inclusion, the district will publish a Notice of Hearing for a public hearing at which time the District’s Board of Directors will receive public comment and formally consider the Petition for Inclusion.
- If the Petition is approved by the majority of the Board of Directors, the district will assess annexation fees pursuant to the district’s then current fee schedule.
