Chisholm Trail Special Utility District board of directors election

Residents in the Chisholm Trail Special Utility District will head to the polls Nov. 5 to select three new board members.

The board of directors includes seven members elected at-large in staggered terms. Meetings are held the third Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the district's office at 851 FM 970 in Florence.

In August the board approved a merger with the city of Georgetown water utility. City Council approved the contract at its Sept. 24 meeting.

Chisholm Trail SUD board member Mike Sweeney said if not approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in a year, the board would have to approve the contract again.

Any registered voter living within the district's corporate boundaries is eligible to vote regardless of whether he or she receives water service from Chisholm Trail SUD, according to the district.

The district serves more than 7,000 customers in Bell, Burnet and Williamson counties. A majority of the customer base is within the city of Georgetown's extraterritorial jurisdiction, which includes the unincorporated areas up to 3.5 miles beyond the city limits
