If you are constructing a new building or adding to an existing building and you need to connect to our water and sewer lines:

Call City Hall at 361-776-2517 to find out if water or sewer lines are already in place and what fees need to be paid. Ensure that you have the legal description of your property (lot and block number, etc.) or a local address.

Call the City's Building and Inspection Department for information on required permits. The permit process will include inspections by plumbing inspectors.

Also, if the service address has been vacant for more than two (2) months, the Building Official must inspect your property before services are connected.

It is a State requirement to have backflow devices on all outside faucets to prevent contaminated water from backing up into the City's water. The backflow devices may be purchased at City Hall for $5.00 or at any local hardware store.
