Summary
The New Sweden MUDs are generally located along the FM 973 corridor and along Brita Olson Road within the far-eastern portion of the City’s ETJ. Per the New Sweden Development Agreement, executed on March 14, 2007, the City agreed to the creation of up to three MUDs on land totaling approximately 1,000 acres. The City subsequently purchased the wastewater treatment and disposal TPDES permit from TCEQ for the construction, ownership, and operation of a wastewater treatment plant to serve New Sweden and the respective 10-acre future wastewater treatment plant site from 973 Wastewater Company in 2008. Since 2008, the City purchased an additional 62.6 acres of land in order to accommodate the future needs of the Cottonwood Wastewater Treatment facility, which is currently located in New Sweden MUD 1.

Since 2008, no development has occurred on the property and there is now renewed interest in the development of the New Sweden MUD 1. This request is to send a petition to the New Sweden MUD 1 Board of Directors, to remove the land owned by the City of Pflugerville for the Cottonwood Wastewater Treatment facility from the boundary of the New Sweden MUD 1. Once the process of removing the land from the MUD is complete, staff will bring forward a request for Council consideration to annex the city owned property into the city limits.
