Bill Summary
For legislation to establish a sustainable water resource fund to mitigate water shortages. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill establishes sustainable water resource funds to mitigate the environmental impacts of increased water, sewer, and stormwater demands. Cities, towns, water districts, and other authorities can collect a reasonable fee, based on the amount of increased demand, to fund measures such as stormwater and wastewater recharge, water conservation, and habitat restoration. The fees will be deposited into separate "Sustainable Water Resource Funds" that can receive other public and private funding sources, and the funds must be used solely for the purposes outlined in the bill.
