On the ballot

Incumbent Jake French will run against challenger Emily Kaye Kipp for District 6. Read Q&As with the candidates here.

Both the race for mayor and District 2 are uncontested. Georgetown Mayor Josh Schroeder and newcomer Doug Noble will run unopposed for those seats, respectively.

Additionally, National Utility Infrastructure plans to buy a portion of Georgetown’s water service territory within Salado, Florence and Liberty Hill. The cities of Killeen and Jarrell are moving forward with purchasing their water territories, respectively.

Georgetown voters will need to authorize the sale through an election.

By selling the water territory outside of city limits and the extraterritorial jurisdiction, the city can reduce risk from outside development, decrease the burden on Georgetown taxpayers, and better account for growing water demand, officials said at an Aug. 26 meeting.
