SB 5185: Water-sewer districts

Concerning the powers of water-sewer districts.

Summary

  • Districts are granted the authority to exclusively exercise the same power granted to cities and towns with respect to the permitting, design, construction, inspection, and approval of facilities that are critical infrastructure for the functions of water works and systems of sewerage and drainage. This power may be exercised to the same extent as cities and counties exercise over their own infrastructure.
