AI Summary

This bill requires a municipality that operates a water or sewer utility and provides service to customers in another recipient municipality using a facility or water/sewer plant located in the recipient municipality to charge consumers in the recipient municipality the same rates, fees, and charges as it does the consumers inside its own municipal boundaries. This is a change to the existing law, which previously allowed municipalities to charge up to a 25% surcharge on rates for customers outside their boundaries. The bill also clarifies that a public hearing is not required when rates are changed proportionately for all customers, both inside and outside the municipality.
