Text: ¶ 43. The record supports the special chancellor's findings that the city has a good track record of providing timely services to newly annexed areas. For example, in the city's most recent annexation, the city promised to build a new fire station on Highway 463. The fire station was in fact built and is now servicing not only the city but residents of the PAA. In addition, the city provided municipal-level sewer service to the vast majority of the area annexed in 1995. This is not to mention that all commercial establishments and residences are connected to a municipal-level water system. Thus, the special chancellor's determination that this indicium of reasonableness weighs heavily in favor of annexation is supported by substantial, credible evidence presented at trial.
