Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 www.fayetteville-ar.gov CITY COUNCIL MEMO 2026-1392 MEETING OF MAY 5, 2026 TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council THROUGH: Keith Macedo, Chief of Staff FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director SUBJECT: Extension of Sewer Service at 2825 N. Hughmount Rd. in Washington County RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approval of sewer service for a single-family home located at 2825 N. Hughmount Road in Washington County. BACKGROUND: Sewer service for an existing single-family home in Washington County with a failing septic tank system has been requested at 2825 N. Hughmount Road. A sewer service line across N Hughmount Road would be required to service this property. DISCUSSION: Per City of Fayetteville Code §51.113(C), City Council approval is necessary for any sewer connections outside the corporate city limits of Fayetteville, Farmington, Greenland, or Johnson. Addition of this sewer connection will not negatively impact system capacities in the vicinity. Additionally, this residence is surrounded on three sides by the Fayetteville city limits, and annexation is a condition of this sewer service connection. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: No impacts.
