Bill > HB2102

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes concerning domestic water improvement districts, primarily by expanding the purposes for which these districts can be established and operate. It clarifies that improvement districts can be formed to construct and operate domestic water delivery systems, specifically mentioning systems that deliver water through "water hauling," which refers to the transportation of water by truck or other vehicles, especially in areas where traditional piped water infrastructure is not feasible. The bill also allows these districts to acquire or construct wells and standpipes for the purpose of producing and making water available for such hauling. Furthermore, it grants improvement districts the power of eminent domain, the right to acquire private property for public use, but strictly limits this power to acquiring or securing sites for a single well and a standpipe for water hauling operations within designated active management areas or groundwater basins where transportation is permitted. The bill also makes minor technical changes to definitions and exclusions for lands within improvement districts.
