Proposed New Heartz Road Sewer Collection Line
District's Letter of 10/16/90
Staff has reviewed the referenced letter and generally finds it
acceptable. As you may be aware, the construction of Heartz Road
north of Sandy Lake Road entailed paving, extension of water
utilities, storm sewer, and the replacement of the existing 8"
sanitary sewer line with a new sanitary sewer line in size and
capacity to accommodate the service area. It appears the original
sanitary sewer line was not sized to accommodate the present zoning
and anticipated development. For that reason, Staff felt it
necessary to request the developer to replace the existing sewer
with a collection line capable of providing service for the area as
presently planned.
The proposed new Heartz Road sewer collection line is needed to
provide service primarily to the area within the Municipal
Utilities District. Additionally, the line will service a very
small area (relative to the service area) which is presently being
served by the existing line. There was discussion with the
Municipal Utilities District and Staff concerning the area outside
the District boundaries which presently is not developed. Upon
that discussion it was determined the area questioned is presently
planned for properties exempt from ad valorem taxation.
Staff has no objection with the City entering into the letter
agreement with the District if it's Council's desire. The District
has reviewed the construction plans and has informed Staff the
plans are acceptable.

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
The City of Coppell has requested the approval of the
District to connect its proposed new Heartz Road sewer
collection line (the "new line") to the District's main sewer
interceptor line (the "interceptor") to replace the exist-
ing Heartz Road sewer collection line (the "existing line") ,
and the Board of Directors of the District has approved such
connection subject to and contingent upon the following terms
and conditions:
1. The new line shall be designed in compliance with all
present applicable design standards of the City;
2. The proposed connection of the new line and the
interceptor shall be submitted for the approval of the
District;
3. The line shall be installed and connected to tile
interceptor in substantial compliance with the plans and a
copy of the "as-built" or record drawings thereof provided to
the District;
4. The District shall be advised 48 hours in advance of the
connection of the new line to the interceptor and shall be
allowed to inspect the work done during said connection;
5. Upon the testing and acceptance of the line, the City
shall abandon the existing Heartz Road sewer collection line;
6. The new line shall serve only the area shown in Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes;
7. All active sewer connections to the existing line within
the proposed service area, all future connections to the said
new line which are within the District's boundaries and any new
new connections to the new line which are for property which
is exempt from ad valorem taxation by the City of Coppell
shall be permitted to connect to the new line; no taxable
property situated outside the District's boundaries shall be
Mr. Ratliff -2- October 16, 1990
permitted to connect to the new line unless and until the
same has been annexed to the District under and pursuant to
the then standard annexation requirements of the District;
8. The City shall be responsible for the proper maintenance
of the new line, and the City shall hold the District
harmless from all claims of any kind in connection with the
construction or maintenance of the new line save and except
for any intentional acts of the District or its
representatives, in which case the District shall be liable.
The District shall cooperate fully with the City in the
connection of the new line to the interceptor and agrees that
it shall approve any request for annexation of land outside
of the District's boundaries if the owner of such land
submits the appropriate documents and makes payment of all
standard fees and charges, provided that the proposed land
use is either the same as is presently shown on the City's
land use plan or does not substantially increase the
anticipated sewage flow into the interceptor.
If the above and foregoing provisions are acceptable to the
City, please so indicate by signing in the space provided
below and returning one copy to the District. We will then
prepare an Agreement for execution by the parties. If the
proposed provisions are not acceptable to the City or if it
is felt that additional provisions are required, please so
advise at your earliest convenience. Thank you for the
City's cooperation in this matter.
