Heights council authorizes power of eminent domain to acquire property
“The City Council on Tuesday authorized the use of the power of eminent domain to acquire a 15-foot wastewater line easement and temporary construction easement on a 0.117-acre tract of land owned by Steve and Roena Mae Costa.
The city is in the process of extending its wastewater system on Farm-to-Market 2410 to serve the anticipated population growth in Harker Heights. Mark Hyde, public works director, said he has negotiated with the Costas about using their property, located at Farm-to-Market 2410 and Rummel Road, as it is the most logical adjacent location for the facilities.”
