Bill > H4057

This bill amends the existing law governing the Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Osceola County, making several key changes to its district boundaries and service areas. Specifically, the bill updates the district's boundaries to exclude areas within the newly renamed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District) and adds new territories in Osceola and Polk Counties. The bill codifies existing interlocal agreements with various local governments, including Orange County, the City of St. Cloud, and Polk County, which define the water and wastewater service territories. The legislation also provides a detailed description of specific land parcels to be included in the district, primarily in Polk County, and allows for future boundary expansions through a special act of the Legislature and a resolution from the affected local government. The bill clarifies that the district can provide services to newly added areas, subject to the terms of the specified interlocal agreements, and ensures that the Tohopekaliga Water Authority can continue to serve and expand its water and wastewater service capabilities in the region.
