Bill > HB1912

This bill authorizes reorganized common sewer districts (special local government entities responsible for managing sewer systems) to expand their operations to include combined waterworks and sewerage systems. Specifically, these districts can now acquire, construct, improve, maintain, and operate integrated water supply and sewage infrastructure systems. The bill allows these districts to combine existing sewerage systems, existing waterworks, or create new water and sewer facilities through a formal resolution. By adopting such a resolution, the district can establish a unified water and sewer system that can include current and future improvements to both water and sewage infrastructure. The legislation ensures that all existing legal provisions governing sewer treatment facilities will also apply to these new combined systems, including rules related to bond issuance and funding. This change provides greater flexibility for local sewer districts to comprehensively manage water and wastewater infrastructure in their service areas.
