Introducing …

Talon Sewer Service and Water

Supply Corporation

◦It is with great pride that we introduce you to Talon Sewer Service and Water Supply Corporation.

◦As directed by TCEQ in January 2009, a new entity was formed on June 24, 2009 under Chapter 67 of the Texas Water Code.

TALON: A Partner in Success !

Use of the word SunEagle was ruled out through legal research, as were Big Eagle, Bald Eagle, Eagle’s Nest and several others.

Since we could not be an eagle, we choose the eagle’s most powerful survival tool as our name: TALON.

An eagle’s talon has four powerful toes used to survive. TALON will focus on four areas: Administrative, Financial, Regulations and Operations.

Why Talon Sewer Service ?

Two giants working to accomplish one gigantic goal.

Talon Sewer Service and Water Supply Corporation or TALON will serve as an agent for SunEagle Bay in seeking and obtaining permits, grants and loans required to keep the project on target.

TALON’s primary objective is to enable SunEagle Bay to bring the community up to State standards.

TALON’s goal is to make it easier for SunEagle Bay to obtain the objectives set out in the 7 year Business Plan by handling specific business functions.
