SF 2235: Relating to sewer services provided by a city utility, including establishing procedures for water that does not enter the sewer system

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to sewer services provided by a city utility, including establishing procedures for water that does not enter the sewer system. The bill provides findings of the general assembly that municipal sewer charges are intended to recover costs associated with actual wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal. When water is lost due to leaks, pipe failures, or similar conditions, and does not enter the sewer system, charging sewer service fees for that water constitutes a fee for services not rendered and is inequitable.
