River Place Annexation

Two interesting articles 1 2

I looked at the tax rates on a Steiner Ranch home and see two WCID 17 entries which I assume is to pay down a MUD like River Place has. I wonder if that is the case and how long it will take to pay it off. If we do get annexed into the City of Austin I assume we would negotiate that down or try not to get annexed until those two rates are off our books. If they were would we want to even be annexed. The good/bad would be water and trash serviced by the City of Austin. Hello big bins for single stream recyling, and we would get to use the COA library system as well. Just speculating, I am not sure if this would ever happen or not.
