flow to the south and tie into the existing 8" sewer line may be inadequate
for your development. The City of Coppell is in the process of obtaining a sewer
analysis for this property analyzing capacity through the existing 8" sewer line to the
north or tying into the existing 8" at the intersection of Royal Lane and Northpoint
Dr. or running a completely new sewer line that would go to the intersection of
Royal Lane and Northpoint Dr., and then go east on Northpoint Dr. and tie into
an existing 15" sewer line in Cottonwood Creek.
