What’s in it

This bill relates to the disposal and acquisition of city water utilities. The bill defines the term “at-risk system” as it relates to city water utilities. Under the bill, when a city utility system that is disposed of by sale is an at-risk system, the new owner may provide to the department of natural resources proof of the availability of financial resources to meet system upgrade requirements and provide a revised timetable for compliance with department rules. If the department determines that the revised timetable is reasonable based on the information provided by the new owner, the department shall agree to the timetable.
