Bill > S1370

This bill amends existing law in Idaho to revise provisions regarding the delivery of water within subdivisions, certain civil actions, and the consideration of groundwater when amending, repealing, or adopting a comprehensive plan. Specifically, the bill requires that subdivisions with 10 or more lots smaller than 5 acres be supplied by a shared well or public water system, and that subdivisions located within or near a municipal provider's service area be designed to integrate with and connect to the municipal provider's system. The bill also outlines requirements for subdivisions that receive water from irrigation entities, including the need to obtain approval for the irrigation system and disclose certain information to purchasers. Additionally, the bill provides for civil actions to enforce these provisions and requires local governing boards to consider the effect on groundwater when amending, repealing, or adopting a comprehensive plan.
