The City Council in Bridge City approved Tuesday extending water and sewer service to a couple’s residence in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city. Gary and Sandra Staton on Quail Drive made the request for city services.
City Manager Jerry Jones indicates Bridge City is working to accommodate the Staton’s request. Mike Lund with the Bridge City Water Department has discussed the request with Mr. Staton and determined Bridge City will need to bore on one side of the Staton’s residence. Jones added, “It may be a little additional cost with the bore, but it’s not going to be a lot.” The city charges one and a half times the normal rate for residences located outside the city limits to receive water and sewer service.
The council approved the nomination of Karen Fisher as Bridge City’s candidate for the Board of Directors of the Orange County Appraisal District. The final item of business Tuesday night by the City Council was to cancel the scheduled council meeting on December 20, so last night’s meeting will be the final meeting of the City Council in Bridge City for 2016.
