Regular Session 2021
Title
Utilities, counties, municipalities, authorities, transfer or use of public funds, for repair or replacement of private sewer laterals, authorized, recovery provided
Description

This bill would provide that the use of public funds to repair or replace sewer laterals on private property is a "public purpose," as that term has been defined by the Supreme Court of Alabama in Slawson v. Alabama Forestry Commission, 631 So.2d 953 (Ala. 1994), and related caselaw and opinions of the Supreme Court of Alabama, and would authorize a county, municipality, or authority incorporated under Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975, to repair or replace a private sewer lateral or to transfer public funds for repair or replacement of a private sewer lateral, and to recover the amount of the transfer or the cost of repair or replacement by prorating that amount on the utility bill of the owner of the private sewer lateral.
