Session
Regular Session 2019
Title
Public water utilities, regulation of certain private water system utilities in Class 8 municipalities, Sec. 37-4-2.1 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, a private water system utility that serves less than 1,000 customers and purchases its water from a municipal water system in a Class 8 municipality may elect to be exempt from all regulation of the Public Service Commission and shall instead be subject to regulation by the municipality from which it purchases its water.

This bill would provide that in order for such a private water system utility to become exempt from all regulation by the Public Service Commission, the private water system utility must first file a petition with and obtain approval from the municipality, and the approval must be sent to the Public Service Commission.
