SB 5447: Water-sewer districts

Requiring voter approval of certain city assumptions of water-sewer districts.

Summary

  • A city cannot assume all or part of a water-sewer district serving more than 30,000 and containing the territory of four or more cities, or three cities and unincorporated territory of more than 500 acres, unless voters of the entire district approve a ballot proposition authorizing the assumption. The cost of the election is borne by the city seeking to assume jurisdiction of the district.
