Named for the Creek That Settled Katy
Before it was called Katy, the community here was known as Cane Island after the creek running through it, and it was first settled in 1872. This neighborhood takes its name from that history. Today the community has a central amenity area called Cane Quarter with pools, a fitness center, a restaurant, trails, parks and pickleball and baseball courts.
Cane Island is described by local sources as inside City of Katy limits. Because sources differ on whether service comes from the city or from a utility district, the safest way to know is to read your own water bill and check your address on the city's GIS map.

Warranty First, Then Plumber
Most new homes come with a builder warranty, and covered items are usually best routed through the builder first. A plumber is the right call for anything the warranty does not cover, for work the builder will not schedule quickly, or for an emergency such as a burst pipe, where waiting is not an option.
New houses also settle during their first years. Small adjustments to a fixture, a drain that gurgles or a faucet that needs a new cartridge are normal and are usually straightforward fixes.
Water Quality, Water Heaters and Add-Ons
Many owners of new homes start thinking about upgrades once they have lived in the house for a few months. Whole-home water filtration, a water softener or a tankless water heater are common projects, and all of them go in more easily when the plumbing is new and accessible.
If you are planning one, it helps to ask the plumber about space, drain access and electrical needs before buying equipment, since a softener or tankless unit has different installation requirements than the tank it replaces. Repairs and installations follow the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) as adopted in Texas.
