    Rural houses around me are all on well/cistern water and septic systems. I’m not even clear how you’d run sewer way out without elevation gain towards the rural areas, isn’t it largely dependent on gravity?

      They could be using lift stations if they run the sewer out that far. If the city annexed a chunk of rural land and was planning on expanding into it over the next few years they may have preemptively investing in sewers and water to help spur development.
