Impact fees issue lining up for renewal

After years of discussion — and rejection — of developer impact fees, the Killeen City Council is set to renew that discussion. At its Tuesday workshop, the council heard two presentations — one in public hearing and the other in the discussion items section — from City Public Works Director Danielle Singh. Both presentations dealt with impact fees, about which the city is hosting a public hearing next Tuesday, March 9. Charged to developers and builders, water and wastewater impact fees help municipalities recoup costs of building roads and infrastructure up to new developments and structures. Singh again touched on how the Capital Improvement Plan and Land Use Assumption factor into impact fees. Related to this, Singh presented a formula by which such fees are calculated, whereby overall recoverable Capital Improvement Costs are divided by the number of new service units.

Heights expected to lift boil order Saturday; Killeen stands by decision to not disinfect

After being under a citywide boil-water notice for several days, Harker Heights residents may soon be relieved of their expectations to take the precautionary measure before consumption. Assistant City Manager Jerry Bark said via email Friday that the city anticipates the notice to be lifted Saturday. “Results are not back but the lab water testing site is overwhelmed with other Texas City samples,” Bark said. Part of the reason it has taken the city of Harker Heights so long to lift its notice is because the city has disinfected its four water storage tanks. Bark said Thursday that it is his understanding that disinfection of the water tanks is required by the Texas Commission on Economic Quality when water tanks go empty and/or if water pressure is lost in the water mains, citing Texas Administrative Code Chapter 290.
