RULE POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF TEXAS;
SECTION 1. GENERAL
The City of Wylie is hereby empowered to establish, define and
amend sanitary sewer lift station districts for the provision of
sanitary sewage collection for the current city limits and future
expansion within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. These
lift station districts shall be provided when, in the opinion of
the City Council, they are necessary in order to promote the
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Wylie and those
people impacted by such decisions within Wylie's extraterritorial
jurisdiction.
These districts shall be established in such a fashion as to make
maximum use of existing topographic drainage basins and to
provide for a minimum number of eventual lift stations to serve
the needs of the city and it's ETJ.
Districts may be created encompassing land that lies both within
the city limits and outside the city limits at the time the
district is created. This is necessary in order to insure for
proper future planning and maximum utilization. Fees that may be
prescribed for a particular district will be collected at the
time of development based upon the level of development.
Subsequent fees may be charged if eventual development exceeds
the initial paid for scope of development. Land area within the
ETJ will be assumed to be part of a particular lift station
district and fees from such areas shall be due at the time
service and annexation is requested.
All lift station districts shall be established, unless
specifically noted in the creation of such districts, to be based
upon a gravity flow system to the city's lift station.
Developers and individuals desiring to connect to the system
shall pay their established fee for the district in which their
property is designated. The payment of this fee shall entitle
the developer/individual to connect to the existing system at an
anticipated flow determined by the development and the payment of
the fee. The monies thus collected shall go to the construction,
placement, engineering and general provision of the lift station
facility and it's necessary appurtenances. The
developer/individual may, in addition, be required to extend a
connecting line between his property and the available connection
point. Such extension shall be at his own expense and separate
from the collection of the lift station fee or any other fee. In
addition, some developer/individual may be required to pay the
cost of continuing through their property a general collection
line for the purposes of routing the sewage to the lift station
complex.
The city shall keep accurate records of all monies collected and
expended for each lift station district. Such monies shall be
audited annually as part of the city's regular audit procedure.
The city may use money collected from one district to start,
upgrade or complet~ the lift station in another district in order
to respond to a changing development pattern. In such case,
2
those monies shall be returned to the
district account upon collection as
development.

C. FEE FOR DISTRICT
3
The estimated cost of providing a lift station for the
Rush Creek Lift Station District No.1 is $300,000.00.
This estimate is based on 1984 dollars and therefore,
the city will retain any interest earned or overages
collected in order to defray any cost of inflation.
This estimated cost divided by the anticipated normal
density of four (4) units per acre results in a per
unit fee at the time of connection of $110.00 per
dwelling unit. Subsequent development after initial
connection will be required to pay additional fees
relative to increased usage. Commercial users will be
charged equivalent dwelling unit fees based on an
anticipated generation or subsequent production of two
hundred thirty (230) gallons of sewage per day average.
This calculation shall be made in the same manner as
outlined in the City of Wylie Impact Fee ordinance and
shall use the same tables and schedules for
computation.
SECTION 3 - PENALTY
Any person, firm, corporation or other entity who is found guilty
of violating the terms of this ordinance shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction of any such violation, shall
be subject to a fine of not less than $1.00 nor more than
$200.00.
SECTION 4 - SEVERABILITY
All ordinances or parts of the ordinance in conflict herewith are
specifically repealed and are superceded by this ordinance. All
other parts of such ordinances are not repealed.
It is hereby declared to be the intention of the City Council
that the sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of

or section of this ordinance shall be declared unconstitutional
or invalid by any judgement or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not

section of this ordinance; and the City Council hereby declares
it would have passed the remaining portions even though it had
