The Frisco Town Council recently agreed to provide town water service to support two Summit County government workforce housing projects that are poised to deliver up to 451 new deed restricted workforce housing units, according to a news release.

The two projects are the Bill’s Ranch Nellie’s Neighborhood and the Lake Hill housing project on Dillon Dam Road. Both projects are in unincorporated Summit County, adjacent to the town of Frisco.

The water service agreements for both projects reportedly require Summit County to transfer water rights to the town of Frisco, according to the news release. The Lake Hill agreement also requires financial support from Summit County for the town to legally perfect those water rights for beneficial use to ensure that Frisco will be able to meet its obligation to provide residents and businesses with water now and into the future, the release states.

The agreement for Lake Hill also requires that Summit County be responsible for the expenses associated with the construction and upgrading of water infrastructure, if needed to service the development.

In the Lake Hill water agreement, the Frisco Town Council has also included mitigation measures addressing traffic volumes, traffic safety, transit service, walkability, operations agreements, timing of amenities at the Lake Hill site, some recreation amenities and more to anticipate future needs, according to the release.

The agreement also included a future impact study conducted by Summit County that will measure the true impact of the development at the issuance of 90% of the requested water, the release states.
