Bill Summary

As enacted, clarifies that a utility system providing waste water service must provide a connection if certain criteria is met. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 35; Title 7, Chapter 82 and Title 68, Chapter 221.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies that a utility system providing wastewater service must offer a connection to a real property owner if the utility system has an existing gravity sewer line located on or next to the owner's property within a public right-of-way or easement, or if it has an existing sewer force main (a pressurized sewer line) on or adjacent to the property that can be accessed with appropriate technology. This expands the requirement beyond situations where the sewer line is solely on the property itself, ensuring more property owners can access wastewater services when a line is readily available nearby.
