Bill > HB2732

This bill proposes to increase the maximum monthly fee that a political subdivision, such as a city, town, village, sewer district, or water supply district, can impose on residential properties with four or fewer dwelling units for water service line repair or replacement. Currently, the maximum fee is one dollar per month or twelve dollars annually, but this bill seeks to raise that limit to two dollars per month or twenty-four dollars annually. This change would require approval from a majority of voters in the affected political subdivision, and the funds collected would be specifically designated for the repair and replacement of water service lines, defined as the piping from the water main to the point of entry into a property, excluding the water meter and facilities owned by the utility or municipality. The bill also outlines provisions for the administration of such fees, including the possibility of adding them to general tax levy bills and collecting them similarly to delinquent real estate taxes.
