Is this MUD document, with the exception of the location and a few specifics to the location, basically the same as the one with HK Baugh (#20)?

Response provided by Michael Cosentino, City Attorney & Tyler Hjorth, Director of Utilities:
Yes. The two are basically the same. The main differences between the two Utility Agreements and Consent Agreements is that MUD#9 is served by the City for both Water and Wastewater while MUD#8 is wastewater only but includes language around the City providing water service if Crystal Clear does not. Otherwise, there are no substantial differences between the two.
