Council OKs water, wastewater extension to environmentally sensitive property - Austin Monitor

We've heard a number of things about (the property), but one thing we didn't talk about is this is an area that was de-annexed from the city. And I don't know what the right policy is going forward, but I do think that we need to stop rewarding areas that de-annex from the city. ... There has to be some negative impact, or at least motivation, from trying to not play by our rules but then still get the benefit of being part of the city.
