Aspen Place Water Bills and Annexation

Context

Many new houses are in Aspen Place, which is outside city limits and so pays a higher water and sewer rate. The city manager warned on August 4, 2026 that residents were shocked by bills (heavy watering of new turf during a June-July dry spell) and that some may press for annexation, which a previous council declined. The neighborhood HOA also controls a private pump station that the city would potentially be asked to take over. The manager noted no organized request had reached the city. Details come from auto-captions.

Status

No request for annexation had been received as of August 4, 2026; council members may be contacted by residents or see posts on social media.
