Pre-Paid Electric Service & Utility Savings
Save Up to $8,400 on Electric Service Installation
New power lines, poles, and transformers have already been installed along the private road frontage, giving new property owners a major head start on utility setup.
Through Oncor’s development program, buyers may qualify for up to an $8,400 credit toward electric line extension and secondary pole installation costs. In many cases, this credit can significantly reduce or even offset the cost of bringing power from the main line to your future homesite.
Typical secondary pole and meter loop installation costs can range from $2,500–$3,000+, while additional line extensions may vary depending on home placement and distance from the main service line. Having this infrastructure already planned and installed can represent substantial upfront savings for property owners.
Estimated Potential Electric Savings
- Up to $8,400 in Oncor electric service credits
- Reduced costs for secondary poles and meter loop installation
- Existing frontage infrastructure already in place
- Flexible homesite positioning along the private road
Existing Water Meter Access = Thousands in Savings
Water meters are already installed along the private road frontage, helping buyers avoid many of the major upfront costs commonly associated with new rural water service installation.
In Limestone County, installing a brand-new water meter can cost approximately $5,800 or more, and that amount typically does not include additional expenses such as:
- Road boring or trenching beneath existing roads
- Water line extensions
- Connection labor and installation costs
By purchasing a development-ready lot with existing meter access, buyers may only pay a standard meter tap fee of approximately $850, potentially saving thousands compared to installing a completely new service connection.
