Four Corner - Texas Water Development Board

Acquisition of capacity from Kingsbridge MUD is the recommended alternative for
several reasons. The capital recovery costs for the water supply and wastewater
·'·
treatment facilities are less than those available from North Mission Glen MUD and are
less than the costs to construct water supply and wastewater treatment facilities within
the planning area. Additionally, Four Corners will not have to apply for water supply
and wastewater discharge permits (a lengthy and unpredictable process) because
Kingsbridge MUD is currently operating under its own permits. The cost for operation
and maintenance of the water supply plant and wastewater treatment plant, sludge
disposal and permit renewals/reporting/testing IS built into the rate structure to be
charged to the Four Corners Area.
The capital recovery costs and water/sewer rates provided by Kingsbridge MUD are
shown in the following table.

C. Recommended System Requirements - The existing residences to be served within
the Four Corners Planning Area are distributed throughout the service area which
requires long runs of waterlines and sanitary sewer lines to provide service. Waterlines
operate under pressure and are typically installed at depths of 4-6 feet below natural
ground. The recommended Kingsbridge layout for the water distribution, shown in
Appendix A, provides for two points of connection to the Kingsbridge water supply
