The ordinance applies inside the city and in its ETJ as applicable. Water comes from Crystal Clear, not the city.

Utility coordination: Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative; Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC) also maps service here. The city's New Resident Resources page names Bluebonnet Electric for electric service, and Bluebonnet's tariff lists Staples among the communities it serves. GVEC's service territory map also places the Staples town point inside GVEC's area, so confirm the provider for the address. Bluebonnet inspects the meter loop before connecting any new or existing location ($125 per re-inspection). GVEC energizes after the city confirms a passed inspection.
