WATER REHABILITATION PROJECT
The Council’s pledge to the City’s strategic priorities is the driving force for the water and sewer line rehabilitation project, and when complete, will positively impact the residents and businesses of Nassau Bay for decades to come. In 2018, a large-scale effort was planned to address more than 15 miles of water lines and 7 miles of sewer lines. Council approved the first phase of this five-phase project and will begin implementation of approximately five miles of water and sewer lines in January 2021. For the first phase of this rehabilitation project, the City is in the process of borrowing $3,000,000 in FY2021 to pay for approximately 25,000 linear feet of water and sewer lines in strategic locations. To fund the first phase of the project, new water and sewer rates were adopted on June 11, 2018. Rates are based off usage and calculated to incentivize water conservation for residential and commercial properties. The newest water and sewer rate changes will be effective for the November 2020 utility bill for all homes, businesses, and users in Nassau Bay. The average residential utility bill in Nassau Bay will increase approximately $3.00 per month, but remains at or below average when compared to neighboring cities. The full rate schedule can be found online at www.nassaubay. com/93/Taxes-Fees. The City’s website is the primary host for all information regarding the water and sewer line rehabilitation project. Please visit our website to find maps of the proposed infrastructure enhancements, a complete list of water rates, comparable utility rate benchmarks, and a project summary.

NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
Fall Gardening: Now that fall is here, there are more Nassau Bay neighbors out enjoying the weather and tending to their yards, seeing what survived over the hot dry summer. This is the month for raking, composting, dividing lilies and bulbs, enriching the soil, and planting flowers, vegetables, herbs, and trees. Remember, the City of Nassau Bay sells Microlife, which is an all-purpose organic slow-release fertilizer, safe for grass, flowers, and vegetables. Keep your hummingbird feeders out, and also watch for the Monarchs to migrate through on their way to Mexico. Garden Angel Award: During the month of September, the "Garden Angel" Award for the year 2020-2021 was presented to Beth Ann Maxwell for her outstanding dedication, friendliness, and creativity as Hospitality Committee Chairperson. Garden Club Meetings: The Garden Club is meeting monthly via Zoom at this time — please visit their website at nassaubaygc.org, or social media pages (Facebook and/or Instagram) for the Meeting ID and Password. Anyone is welcome to join the meetings. The next meeting will be Tuesday, October 13th, at 10:00am. Arbor Day: On Texas Arbor Day, November 6th, the Garden Club's 2nd V.P.
