Spring Hill Weighs At-Risk Sewer Deals for June Lake as Moratorium Leaves 61 Lots Without Capacity
Spring Hill aldermen meet Monday, Nov. 2, on two at-risk development agreements for June Lake that let builders install infrastructure and plat lots under the sewer moratorium without any promise of sewer capacity. In POD E Section 3, 61 of 75 lots have no allocation.
Spring Hill's sewer moratorium is changing how new neighborhoods get built. On Monday, Nov. 2, at 6 p.m., the Board of Mayor and Aldermen discusses two proposed agreements that would let the builders of June Lake install infrastructure and pursue plats at their own risk, with no promise the homes will ever connect to city sewer on a set schedule.
The same agenda covers early paving at Legacy Pointe, a small business asking for a slice of the city's sewer reserve, and three landowners hoping to use on-site wastewater systems instead of waiting for city capacity.
June Lake: building ahead of sewer capacity
Windfall Phase 1
Staff recommend approving a Sewer Moratorium Infrastructure Development Agreement with Propst Realty Nashville LLC and Signature Homes Realty LLC for June Lake, Windfall Phase 1. The developer could proceed with the required on-site and off-site infrastructure "on at-risk basis."
The memo is direct. Approval "does not constitute an allocation or approval of wastewater treatment or collection capacity, nor does it guarantee future sewer capacity." No connection to the city's wastewater system will be allowed until capacity is formally allocated and all required improvements are completed and approved.
POD E, Section 3
The second agreement covers June Lake POD E, Section 3. It has 75 residential lots, but wastewater capacity has been allocated for only 14 of them. The developer wants to finish the approved on-site infrastructure and final-plat all 75 lots at its own risk, knowing that the other 61 lots have no capacity.
| Item on the Nov. 2 agenda | Key figure | Sewer status in the packet |
|---|---|---|
| June Lake, Windfall Phase 1 | On-site and off-site infrastructure | No capacity allocated; at-risk agreement |
| June Lake, POD E Section 3 | 75 lots | 14 lots allocated; 61 without capacity |
| Pooch Playhouse, 1001 Parkway Drive | 2,680 GPD request | Reserve would fall from 99,040 to 96,360 GPD |
| 3523 and 3545 Mahlon Moore Road | About 23.68 acres; 32 lots proposed | Alternative on-site (Bio Clere) system |
| SHIP West, 3521 Cleburne Road | About 38.86 acres; about 488,232 sf warehouse | Alternative on-site system |
| Keystone Outdoors | About 10.7 acres; about 51,000 sf building | On-site septic, 450 gallons per day |
How the moratorium works
The city operates under TDEC Consent Order WPC2025-0093 and Ordinance 25-29, which set up the sewer capacity allocation framework. Section 2(F) of the ordinance created a 100,000 gallon-per-day Future Discretionary Sewer Capacity Reserve. The board can grant from it for nonresidential tenant improvements of existing buildings.
Pooch Playhouse at 1001 Parkway Drive wants 2,680 GPD to expand its small-animal care facility. Its engineer's analysis shows growth from 5 to 15 employees, 1 to 3 grooming stations, and 20 to 90 kennels. After an earlier allocation to Nelly's, the reserve stood at 99,040 GPD. The work-session discussion allocates no capacity. If the board later authorizes the request, the illustrative balance would be 96,360 GPD, subject to confirmation at that time.
Landowners turning to on-site systems
Three applicants want direction on private wastewater systems:
- Mahlon Moore Road (3523 and 3545). About 23.68 acres zoned Agricultural. The applicant would rezone to R-2 Single-Family for 32 detached lots on public streets using a Bio Clere system.
- SHIP West, 3521 Cleburne Road. About 38.86 acres zoned I-1 Light Industrial, for a warehouse of about 488,232 square feet with truck docks.
- Keystone Outdoors. Four parcels totaling about 10.7 acres, in both Maury and Williamson counties, for a commercial building of about 51,000 square feet on a septic system sized for 450 gallons per day.
None of these is a final approval. For Mahlon Moore Road, a rezoning application plus preliminary and final plats would still be required after a memorandum of understanding. SHIP West would need a site plan change, and Keystone Outdoors would need a special use permit and site plan.
Legacy Pointe: early final paving
Spring Hill's Unified Development Code bars final asphalt topping until a development is 80% complete. SouthStar, the developer of Legacy Pointe, wants to top Crossings Circle, Legacy Pointe Trail and Legacy Pointe Boulevard now, citing its approved TIF district agreement with the city.
Staff support a formal agreement with conditions. The roads would stay under the developer's care, with the developer responsible for all maintenance and repairs until 80% buildout. The city would not accept them as public roads until then. The existing surety bond would stay at its current value. Staff report no financial impact to the city.
Construction traffic rules
Police and city staff also propose changing Municipal Code 15-126 to make clear that failing to use designated construction entrances and routes is a code violation. The goal is less construction traffic cutting through finished neighborhoods.
Dates to know
- Mon., Nov. 2, 6 p.m. — Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen: June Lake agreements, Legacy Pointe paving, Pooch Playhouse sewer request, three on-site wastewater discussions, construction traffic code change.
- After board direction — Staff would prepare formal agreements or resolutions. Rezoning, plats or site plans would follow for the on-site system projects.
What it means for Spring Hill buyers
If you are shopping for new construction in June Lake or any other Spring Hill community still being built, ask the builder a direct question: does this lot have an allocated sewer connection? A platted lot with finished streets can look ready, but under an at-risk agreement the home cannot connect until the board allocates capacity. Get the answer in writing before you sign a contract or pay a large deposit.
What it means for Spring Hill homeowners
Under a sewer moratorium, existing homes with sewer service hold an edge. New lots can be platted, but the homes on them cannot connect until capacity is allocated, which limits new supply in some neighborhoods. If you own in Spring Hill, that matters when you price and time a sale.

What is an at-risk sewer moratorium agreement in Spring Hill?
It lets a developer build approved infrastructure, and in some cases plat lots, at its own risk and expense during the sewer moratorium. Approval does not allocate wastewater capacity or guarantee future sewer capacity, and no connections are allowed until capacity is formally allocated.
How many June Lake POD E Section 3 lots have sewer capacity?
The project has 75 residential lots. Capacity has been allocated for only 14, so the other 61 have none.
How much is left in the sewer reserve?
Ordinance 25-29 created a 100,000 GPD Future Discretionary Sewer Capacity Reserve. After an allocation to Nelly's, 99,040 GPD remained. If Pooch Playhouse receives 2,680 GPD, the balance would be about 96,360 GPD.
What is happening with Legacy Pointe roads?
SouthStar wants to install final asphalt on Crossings Circle, Legacy Pointe Trail and Legacy Pointe Boulevard before 80% buildout. Staff support it if the developer keeps maintaining the roads until 80% buildout and the surety bond stays at its current value.
When does the Spring Hill board meet?
Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, at 6 p.m. Most of these items are work-session discussions, with formal agreements to follow if the board gives direction.
